I've always wondered what they do with the 50% of rejects per layer. Is that where the cheap mulch bags come from?

Cut in half and rip in 3rds. 6 sturdy garden plant stakes for $2 and 3 minutes. Cut in 12 and 16 inch pieces and stack in a box form and make wood cribbing "jack stands". I make a lot of things with cheap stud grade 2x4s. When used with framing techniques most warps and curves can be taken out or not a concern. You are not building heirloom pieces with these even if they were all straight.

If you got a pond and some time you can straighten anything. Soak um for a few days, then stack em. Then you have 100 2x4 ready for you project in a couple weeks after they dry straight

I mean, menards framing lumber is still better than home d'pot and Lowe's. If you're needing perfect, you need s4s select or better appearance anyway- there's a reason classification exists.

I saw a house framed with MSR (Machine Stress Rated) S. Pine, and it was glorious. Who knows what it will look like in 15 months after the first heating season, because it's still new growth lumber, but it was *chef's kiss* as a frame.

This will take awhile so go prepared, not hungry, thirsty or etc. Do some stretches, some back exercises, and maybe take some tunes, unless you actually find the Menards jingle brainworm appealing. (Do a little dance when they play it.)

At the bin, clear out one side, removing any good ones of course. Hahaha! Then work from the other side, depositing the rejects toward the hole.

Lastly, remember not to be too picky. The goal is not finding perfect studs, or even those that meet the certification, just some that will, or might, work.

Heading out now myself, maybe see you there.

Menards lumber setup is too much of a hassle. At Home Depot I just load it onto a lumber cart, check out, and leave.

I read the comments just to see how many warped wood comments there would be 🤣
