Question about softwood lumber grades... - As a contractor I can tell you Home Depot and Lowe's are by far the last place I "choose" to shop. This problem with the replacements is typical. In my case I now just buy 1" rigid steel pipe and drill holes in them. I am a contractor superintendent and use one on a regular basis and just really ... |

I would love to get rid of it and build a new, larger one, but due to being laid off and low funds, I have to repair this one to make it last for a few more years. The major problem with it is the roof. It is probably original by looking at it. The asphalt shingles are deteriorated badly and some are missing. It needs to be w... |

Most garage door tracks are set up for this height. You see 8 feet in garage-unders. They are very cramped and the garage doors require special low-headroom tracks. Go 9'-4" or better. |

Question about softwood lumber grades... - If I recall correctly from Hoadley, "Understanding Wood": - for softwoods, slower growth results in harder wood (and I think it's because the earlywood is harder than latewood in evergreens, so you want thin bands of latewood) - for hardwoods, faster growth results in more latewood which is harder (and I recall a series of pictures of a ring-porous wood which demonstrated this phenomen... |

See http://www.diyprojects.info/bb/ftopic14689.html for more info. I'll quote part. Q: A Softwood is a soft wood and a Hardwood is a hard wood. Right? A: False. A softwood is the wood of a conifer (or a Ginkgo), a hardwood is the wood of a dicot tree. The hardest hardwood is some three times as hard as the hardest softwood, but the hardest softwood is some fou... |
