At first I thought you were talking about me. 😁.   Prices for everything are crazy.

I'm no carpenter, so clue me as to what kinda project requires a "Top choice prime stud" ? 

I need to replace about thirteen  2x6x12's on my deck.   Last year's prices scared me off.....but they are gonna have to be done this Summer.   Are lumber prices still rediculous ?

Going up every day.  That is just a regular construction stud used in interior walls, typical home has hundreds of them.

3/4 advantec is back to $70 a sheet, osb $50.

Wrench, it's going to hurt. BAD.  Find a local Amish mill and just replace them with oak, etc. Stay away from cottenwood if you can. Just predrill holes and hope they outlive you.

Rip out the deck put in stairs and a gravel pad.  You’re welcome 😂

No thanks🙄  This would be the stupidest looking house in Gravi if it was lacking the deck.   

You, of all people, should realize the pride of having a BIG DECK !

Will a Air Nailer work with Oak? I’ve used bunch of Green Oak on construction. Everyone said it would warp but never had a problem with that but as boards lost moisture they did shrink.

I have some steps that are old Oak and they still handle my lard butt.

Oak Bugs will go to Pine first. Pine will burn before Oak. Oak is strong if you wanted to you could use less boards.
