Basic verifiable information is all you need to make such decisions not emotions. Isn’t that why we all learnt to read and do basic maths? Reason why rhetorical appeal has no place in science, engineering and technology. Standards for measurement like inches, meters etc were developed for empirical evidence. Besides, only a dinosaur would use an approx. of 1.9 inches (2' minus 1/8') x 2 wood for chewing stick.
The average saw blade is about 1/8 to 1/4 inches thick.
But the thick ones like the 1/4 inches blade are used for such job.
That is the most sawdust that would be wasted from that cut
Now divide that into two, you have 1/8 inches loss for each 2x 2 obtained from a 2x 4.

Think about it, how thick is 1/8 inches? That is as flat as a razor blade. Is that what you should be concerned about? 1/8 difference of an inch is relatively very negligible in terms of size. A regular measuring tape is not even calibrated to spot this difference. secondly 2 x2 are mostly for nogging and there are no safety implications patterning to this.

I look at it in terms of savings. At almost #300 difference, multiple that by the quantity and you have enough money for carpentry labour.

Let’s hope that is not even what the supplier would do because that would be your money in another persons pocket for lack of information. .

Chairman, all this dy/dx does not work in the open market oo...wood no dey full again, hence the chewing stick size.. �

Wow! I guess they’re in prime areas.

Please kindly desist from generalizing.......
If you want complete 2*2,2*3,2*4......its there in the open market. You will just have to spend some good number of hours in the market to sort each out. And it's easier if same is gotten from the bush directly under good arrangement.

As for the 16mm being 12mm and 12mm being 10mm.....you must be joking about this.

sonnie10:


the truth is if you go to the market looking for cheap and substandard stuff, them plenty.

Many of you fellas hardly go do real time market surveys.

Something is cheap does not mean it's substandard. Expensive does not also make it standard.

Then Nx3t was right, obtaining from the Bush is better and more accurate It then might be more expensive. So why did they all advice her to go buy from the open market when they all knew it was not good? Isn't that deception or withholding relevant information?

I’m not asking you to buy from this person. As a matter of fact, I’ve not patronized her before but she’s a supplier around that area. She gave me her contact while working on some projects there.

You can call her to make enquiries and compare figures.

0708 357 7813 - I don’t know her name.

__________

Here’s what I know. The price of good sharp sand in that area is more than what we buy in Lekki and Oshodi. And their truck is kinda small which makes it look like a rip off to me.
They don’t use the China truck we are used to in Lekki axis. They have the side-loading type of truck.

They have 2 types of sharp sand (good and bad sand). Both can be used but I’d advice you to use the good one for your concrete works.

_________

Granite at 300k in that axis seems like a good deal to me if it’s full. I bought very full 45 tons 2 weeks ago in Oshodi at 450k.
Unconfirmed source says granite price will go up in coming week again.
