Wonder if my wife can sue me for the falsely dimensioned pipe I laid.

Years ago I was told the measurement is while it is still rough. Finishing removes 1/4 from all sides.

Only idiots don't know the difference between nominal and actual dimensions.

I hope the judge throws this out as being frivolous and makes the plaintiffs pay the court costs and defense attorney fees.

The US started using standardized dimensioned lumber in 1924.
In the mid 1950's, I remember my father's carpenters complaining that they had to buy new T-squares and folding rulers etc to account for the dimension size instead of the old full sized lumber.
Sixty years is a long time to wait to sue about being cheated. It will be laughed out of court.

After World War I, the increasing demand for construction
lumber led to the first national size standard in 1924. This was revised in 1926, 1928, 1939,
and 1953, while still another revision is proposed for adoption in 1964.

I have been saying it for years: We need "Loser Pays."

These lawyers and the plaintiffs should be burnt alive over hot fire built of dimensional lumber.

Over 50 years with current measurements (1963). Prior to that there was more variance based on wood type and locale but standard nominal dimensions were part of lumber sales since the late 1800's at least.

No way this is real. No way someone didn't know the difference between actual and nominal lumber dimensions.

What are the actual damages claimed? Like someone said earlier, you don't buy lumber for the volume. Even if you didn't know the real dimensions, what are the damages?
Posted on 6/22/17 at 3:02 pm to LanierSpots
The lawyers, accusers, and reporters are not men right? What kind of idiot goes through life not knowing nominal vs actual lumber dimensions?
Posted on 6/22/17 at 3:05 pm to LanierSpots
Millennial protest soon to follow.

I hope the plaintiffs in this dumb arse law suit have to pay the defendants legal fees.
