A framing job in Bend taught me to always check the grade stamp
We were about to start sheathing a roof when the foreman pointed out a whole stack of 2x4s were #2 grade, not the #1 we ordered... that was two years ago and I still check every single piece now. Anyone else get burned by a lumber mix-up like that?

Got a buddy who built a whole shed with a pallet of warped studs he didn't check, said it looked like a funhouse when he was done lol. Makes you wonder how often that stuff slips through. I'm not even in framing and I side-eye every piece of wood I buy for my own projects now.
