I thought I'd share some pictures of some lumber I bought in the first part of December to frame in a room in my basement. The 2x4's were hand picked for straightness when we bought it. The picture with the piece scabbed on the side bent after it was up. We found it when drywalling and had to cut it to straighten the wall.
In the picture with my toe in it the bottom edge of the 2x4 is on the tile line so you can see how much that 2x4 twisted. The board is light as a feather so I'm guessing it shed its moisture after I bought it. Whatever happened to kiln dried?
