@flannel-slut yeah Lowe’s lumber is pretty shit. I’ve found a better spot, closer to home, but they charge a good 30% more. Fuhhhhh

@WhiskeySandwich seriously. the %30 increase is no joke man but definitely money well spent.

A couple years back, I wanted to build some picnic tables for my backyard. We have a pretty big outdoor patio area, so they needed to be at least 10 or 12 feet long or else they’d look like toddler tables. I found some plans online that I altered to work, and when I tried pricing out wood locally the costs were astronomical. I was hard set on having cedar and nothing else. I finally just reached out directly to some local cedar mills about an hour or two outside of town and got a direct price from them. $700 delivered on a flatbed trailer to my driveway. Other high-end lumber dealers in the Nashville area were charging me $1500-$2000 just to pick it up at their warehouse.
Didn’t even bother wasting my time going to Lowe’s or Home Depot, as I knew their choices for wood would’ve been absolute shit, let alone overpriced.
