yep and those of us old enough can remember when a 2x4 'was' a 2x4 .....

Yeah buddy. Only 4/4 here.

too funny, have you measure a '2x4' lately ? It's not 2 inches X 4 inches !

Yep nuts now a real 1.5 inches by 3.5 inches . Some FYI: The lack of resources forced a compromise because thinner 2x4s were a way to compete with these alternatives in the industry. In 1964, size standards, maximum moisture content, and naming were agreed upon. The nominal 2x4 thus became the actual 1-½ x 3-½ inch board.

Wow, I knew it was sometime back but forgot it was 'that' long ago !
