Sorry I did not respond sooner but I ass-u-me'd that others knew more than
I. Is the lumber dressed or rough sawn? My experience is dressed lumber has
always been the nominal dimension, not actual. Rough sawn or dressed
depended on where you got is as much as when. As I recall the house I grew
up in in Western PA was built in the 1940's and had rough sawn lumber,
actual dimension.

Okay, so nobody knows squat about the timeline of changes in finished lumber
dimensions. Guess I have to quit being lazy and dig.



A new topic from a customer who has an historic four gabled home and hates
looking at his AC compressor. Is the best bet to bury the compressor system
in a vault with a grate on top, or are their other solutions? He's already
nixed the landscape (shrubs) solution.
