The comments about the lumber lawsuit, and then the comments about why we use 1.5 in by 3.5 in, raised a question I am sure some of you can answer.
What is the standard dimension of lumber used in home construction in other places in the world? Canada? Europe? Asia? Etc.
I am guessing the dimensions might be different? 1.5 inches by 3.5 inches works out to 3.81 cm by 8.89 cm if my conversion is right. I assume metric places have a standard size that is convenient in metric measurements?
Just curious. It doesn't really impact me at all as far as I know.
Thanks.
