Can I sue Home Depot for all the “defective” wood used in building my dream house. Maybe I should get around $3,000,000. Seems reasonable to me.

This Judge is setting a new low on the idiocy scale.

That's been the standard forever.
If they sell actual 2"x4" lumber nobody will be able to use it.

Moron. Besides, I bet the ad didn't say 2x4 INCHES. How does he know there's not some dimensional unit that's 0.78" or whatever. Call it a Lowe. Better yet, call it a "bum-fudge" and tell the judge you're naming it for him and Osama. Stupid defense, I know, but no more stupid than the accusation. After all, ask a stupid question.....

It’s way worse than that. Have you any idea how much more than $.10 they charged me for 10d nails?

Can you explain that to me. I know nothing about this stuff.

That’s a special kind of stupid right there. This just illustrates how far we have gone to turn over our country and our lives to complete idiots who are handed law degrees because they embrace the fashionable ideological dogma.

How much does California have to pay for their deceptive advertising on the lotto? They continually advertise a jackpot of x amount of dollars and then pay you substantially less for taking it in a lump sum.

I can’t remember why it got called a 2x4 in the first place, maybe that was the rough dimension before milling, but in actuality, a 2x4 is usually about 1-9/16” x 3-1/2”. At 8” nominal and above, the actual dimension is about 3/4” less than the nominal. 1-by’s are about 3/4” thick. The stuff that’s actually 1” thick, like they make wood screen doors out of is called “four square”. It’s been this way as long as I’ve been alive and that’s quite a while.

A piece of wood 2 X 4 would be too big. It wouldn’t fit and the walls would end up too thick.

Potential opening for a GEICO commercial here.

I’m in the industry and have been following this lunacy. 2X4’s began to shrink around 1910. testing showed no discernible lessening of structural strength and more units could be fit on a truck.
The judge is a moron (in the literal sense of the word)who is apparently too highfalutin to step into a lumberyard.

Should be marketed and sold with an asterisk, however, explaining the true measurements.

Aren’t the dimensions what’s left when rough-sawed 2x4 (or whatever) lumber is planed down for smoothness?
