Small world.
In Response To: Have to say this though. I was in Lowe's a few weeks ago, and found plywood ()
Back in 'aught-70-something I took my first professional job as an engineer for US Plywood Co. One of the projects I worked on was for 2 new plants being built in Camden and Corrigan. Our office was in Eugene, Oregon but the engineering work was done there by us and a local consulting firm. Being a Bred and Born Pacific Northwesterner it was a bit of culture shock going to east Texas. I didn't even know they had trees!
