And yeah. The quality is different I don't give a **** what you say.
so, that's your problem....

Lumber is graded on appearance and quality. #2 is going to be fairly consistent no matter where you buy it. In any bunk of lumber you will get a mix of good and bad, thats just the way it is. Some places, like Lowes do offer a "premium" #2, but that is material that has been hand-culled from the mill. Comparing #2 and "premium #2" isn't apples to apples.

FWIW, I buy about $75-100k in lumber a year. Much of that lately has been coming from Menards because the buys happened to line up with their 11% rebate sales, but i buy from several sources.

If you don't want the bad that comes with the good, get off your ass and go pick out your own sticks.
