Another Lowe's Plywood Product

And among the highest property taxes in the nation, too.

Nope. Property taxes are higher in every other northeast state, and they all have sales and income taxes to boot. My yearly state/local tax bill is $1800, total.

Well, I'm fortunate enough to live in a state that's going through a one-state recession. Our idiot governor is too stupid to figure anything out, ie: She proclaimed a state-wide ban on burning 1 day before flooding rains hit. Yes, everyone knew it was coming.

My property taxes are $2300 a year. We have a 6% sales tax and a 4.9% income tax which she wants to raise. Our alcohol, tobacco and gasoline taxes are insane, (to pay for roads) yet we have the lamest truck weight restrictions in the country.

If she doesn't get her way with taxes she's threating to cut money to the schools. She's already cut state-shared revenues to county and local governments by so much they can't even do their planned infrastructure repairs.

Of couse she's not too bad looking. If they took that cocoa puff off her cheek they could probably keep her on her back and let her F*** us out of debt.

Whoops, sorry...I violated my own ban on political discussion.

Here, we have no state income tax and my property tax is only $800 a year. Then again, half of our roads are still gravel and there are still only two stoplights in the entire town.

The taxes on the casinos are supposed to be paying for our schools, yet Nevada has the worst schools in the country. The drop-out rate at Pahrump Valley High School (our only HS) is 51%!!! Despite that, my Son was on the honor roll last year, received best-in-class awards for Cisco Networking and for HTML Design, and has a class-load for this year that makes me cringe. I don't know how he does it, especially since he eats, sleeps and breathes guitar/bass. Not bragging ... he does it all on his own.

I guess a high-school diploma isn't required to deal black jack.

LMAO the lady nextdoor deals blackjack at the Mandalay Bay in Vegas and makes a fortune! Come to think of it, she's as dumb as a rock, too.

I use Hughes Hardwoods in Rancho ... $28 for 1/2" BB in 5x5

I called them and I may end up going there, but their 4x8 BB is ~$50, whereas 4x8 Arauco is $22 at Lowe's.

$34 for 1/2" "american birch" in 4x8. ... Numerous voids filled with some drywall-mudlike filler.

How thin is the veneer? This sounds a lot like the birch ply that HD sells for $38.

Like 1/32-1/64 inch. Quality birch has equally thick plies, so a 1/2" nine ply will have 1/20 inch layers, including the outer.

My taxes are $1600. It sounds like NH has a lot of good things going, if one can deal with the long and early winter. I remember winters on Cape Cod, and how early it came. Weather there is milder than Boston, which I assume is about what NH gets.

I would gladly pay $50 for 4x8 in genuine BB. Hughes told me they were out of stock "for the foreseeable future".

If they have 4x8 BB in stock, I'd better dash down there and load up. It comes and goes, and is mostly out of stock. I have to do at least two T48, so will need to load up. My VISA card hates me.
