    Holy cow, it's amazing that all those posting these "I remember when" comments aren't dead already!!!

    Ironically, just last night I was installing an over-the-range microwave and wanted to add blocks due to the recessed cabinet (the "professional" from Lowes who installed the last one failed to do so). I measure the recessed space (1") and go out to the garage and find all the wood I have is ¾", so it's off to Lowes I go (it's closer than Home Depot).

    I find a nice piece of wood measuring 1" x 3" x 4' for about $3, which came from Finland for some reason (did we run out of wood in this country?!?), and I cruise back home.

    I go out to cut the pieces I need, and when I measure the depth, it's ¾"!

    Go figure.

    1X3 and 2X4 haven't been the true size in a long time. I was told that is the size before they are dried in the Kiln.

    1x4 has been 3/4"x3 1/2" all my life, and 2x4 has been 1 1/2"×3 1/2"... Occasionally, I come across a piece of really old lumber that measures a bit larger...

    Plywood thickness is where the more recent shrinkage has occured, but even that ain't new.

    if you want 1", look for 5/4 (five quarter) lumber

    ^^^^This^^^^^

    the cost per ounce or unit price will almost always tell you which is the best deal.
    Except when it comes to paper towel math and all the 4 = 6 rolls, 6 = 9 rolls, 12 = 18 rolls, and then they perforate the sheets in halves or quarters so you can't really compare cost per sheet without trying to figure it all out.
