It’s a good word. A defective or damaged product becomes unsalable.
That aside..this is another major disaster waiting to pass a liberal mind numb congress.
CA has already adopted a new building code which means every new house or remodel must be framed in 2x6’s instead of 2x4’s. More wood to make the house “greener”. Many place in CA we use no a/c and very little heat..maybe just a few minutes a day to take the chill off..so why do we suddenly need to build a house to artic or death valley standards?

I guess I'm dense or something but I don't understand how this would make houses greener unless it means less insulation being used.

What if you want to use steel as a frame? Will this not be allowed?

To my mind “greener” isn’t the goal, or at least if it is whomever in the State Gov of ours here in California has abused the word to draw support for the additional cost of 2X6 lumber.

Illogic says to me it would be some Leftist imagining towards Earthquake safety to have the “stronger” lumber in construction, as I can’t see any possible way using those 2X6’s would make anything greener, unless it was painted green.

To my mind it would seem the larger lumber would increase the consumption of lumber, thus the cutting down of more trees to the chagrin of the tree huggy-bunch.
