So I ran across this article from Harvard Design Magazine – the history of the 2×4 as it pertains to lumber/wood. Yeah – a bit of an odd post, but if you happen to shop your local hardware store/big-box, it is somewhat interesting.
TIL: they are 2x4s until they are ‘milled’ (basically, shaved smooth for sell).
Good read if you are a lumber or history buff … or simply board, er bored. Hah!
ah … my first email address was toelius@aol.com. The memories …
I’ve seen a lot of 9/11 videos, like most people … but just ran across this one and it kind of hit a chord. Brings back the confusing horror of that fall day just a decade ago. I remember Tina and I were getting ready for work that morning, living in our first house in Portland. I remember ironing a shirt for work as we watched the news – when the second plane hit.
Crazy.
I remember the morning. We all do. It was a very sad day across America.
This is a very raw video … worth a watch.
