Weird question.

intended to last more than a couple years.

Â*Â*Â*Â*Yet every lumber yard I've found advertises
"premium quality"
lumber.Â* Where can one go for "Good enough" lumber for those projects
which just have to be "done"?Â* Somewhere above the stuff used by
"B.A.R.F. Construction" ('cost a whole lot less, looks just a good.),
though.

Â*Â*Â*Â*Or am I stuck with having to contact a mill
somewhere for the
grade 4 boards (every board guaranteed to have a knot, bark, cup, bow,

Depending on what size of shed you are talking about it may be better
to
buy a cheap shed from somewhere like Lowes or Home Depot.Â*Â*
It will
probably last as long as you want it andÂ* may cost less considering cost
of materials, labor, and the time required to find it.


You may also chece Craiglist, to the like.Â* I have seen some sheds being
given away, so the only cost would be moving it to your locations.
Depending on the size it could be doable.




Considering what construction lumber is going for these days, it is all
less than premium.
Today's 2x4 that goes for $8 is the same quality as last years $3 2x4.

Tain't the cost so much as I don't need pristine, organically
grown, faire trade, each tree individually selected and harvested by
druids in a sustainable manner, hand selected by virgins "perfect"
lumber. I just want "board, 2"x4"x96", one each" etc. Something
grade three or below.
I tend to go check Home Depots "mark down cart" - 70% off. Yes,
that's a major defect. OTOH, there is 7 feet of board without the
defect, and I can cut the two pieces I want out of it. "It will do."

Do you have a Restore (Habitat for Humanity) near you. Some have a lot
of lumber, at usually a good price.
