Hi A. Terry!

So A. Terry reads my blog (so does RJ but he got his response in comment form.) Anyway, I am happy to know that this works even with a very small audience.

Today is Saturday, wow those weeks just fly by. Schools started over here this past week, and as if God Himself doesn't like to go back He rained upon us all week long. Bill and I were lucky, no wind or water damage, and we only lost power during the day while we were both at work anyway. Thank goodness for that.

Today we had dentist appointment and for the fist time since we started going to Maria neither of us had cavities (yea) So, apparently the last few times were really because of the bad care of previous dentists and lack of fluoride. We went to sears (again) and got more tools (again). I jokingly told Bill that he now had everything he needed to build our deck himself. he retorted with a dead serious tone that everything we had was cordless and for the deck he would have to buy all corded.... back to the drawing board on that. but we are making progress with our family room. there are now 2x4s in the hole and the drywall will hopefully be cut and mounted tonight. By the way i never realized 2x4s aren't 2x4 call me dumb but why?!? wouldn't you just make a 2x4 actually 2x4 or call it a 1.whatever by 3.whatever.

ok time to go help with the dry wall and maybe get to use the new power sander :)

The 2x4 starts out 2"x4". Most lumber is then sent to be plained down because most do not want rought cut lumber. And yes, you can still buy rough cut lumber, at least in some dimensions for specific purposes. But generally, all boards you buy are milled down from their original size by 1/2 inch because for most puposes people want a smooth board.
