I just bloody fucking knew it. The smell of fuckup trifecta is hanging in the air.
I ordered 16 4x4x6s of which more than half was absolutely unacceptable. Chipped, frayed, huge knotholes, splinters 4 - 5 inches long, fist sized chunks missing you name it. One of the 4x4x10s was barely acceptable, the other looked like a swift kick would bring it down. The way I figure it, they gave me contractor rejects. The crap professionals won't take even at half wholesale. Problem is, I spent most of my teens working for my Dad's contracting company. Shit materials = shit build. Sorry, no dice. No inspector would approve this crap and nor will I.
I'm not expecting perfection here. But these are the support beams for a roofing structure with an extensive gutter/gray water system. These fail and the Bunhalla bunnies will be killed by falling debris. Hell you couldn't even lean against this stuff, you'd end up with splinters buried in your arms and back. I am not going to endanger our rabbits and our friends with shoddy materials.
Needless to say, the delivery guy wasn't thrilled that I refused more than half the order. I am less than thrilled, too. Replacement shipment due Friday. Or else.
