All the while the lumber was right under my nose.
I wasn't aware that the Orchidland true value has a lumber section on the far mauka side of the store in the corner. It was there all the time I just never looked in that corner before. $7.49 for a 2x4 is to steep to build a house with but I needed a single 2x4 to complete a project and getting it in my 'hood actually saved me money (plus an hour of driving) versus burning gas going into town to get it. As an added bonus all the 2x4s looked great, like they went to Home Depot and selected only really good ones and left the split, deformed, warped, and knotty ones in Hilo.
