Reply to "Todays lumber"

While I prefer working with wood because it is easier for me and doesn't require any tools I don't already own;  Sometimes, folks can come up with a method of doing something that is different than methods used foe hundreds of years.  Every now and then these new methods are an improvement in one way or another.  I don't know about what other folks think, but I would much rather live in a world where more efficient methods are used and constantly improved upon than in one where "The way it has always been done" is the only acceptable method.  I prefer lightbulbs over candles.

As for the sectional-primed pine, it has the same problem that Steel does for me.  It's ugly.  If you have no care for how the finished product looks, you can just use OSB and epoxy and save a ton of money.  It will look hideous, but will be just as strong and flat as anything else.  

Some side points:

Just because you do not know how to use a material does not make it an inferior material.  

It seems to me that someone in the lumber business would be familiar with the hardware/tools business to some extent, and should thus be aware that belt-fed screw guns exist  and are a common-place tool for contractors.  

 

Marketing wank is marketing wank. As with everything else in the world, trusting the guy trying to sell you something with information about the competing product is a failure of common sense.
