If I have a 2x4 and measure it out, it's actually only 1.5 thick. When I translate that to quarters it's 6/4 - Or is it ?
If I have a piece of lumber that measures a full 2" thick, that translates as 8/4. True?
If I go to a real lumber yard and ask for lumber at 4/4, what actual thickness will I get?
This all may sound a bit dumb, but I have a money bet riding on the accepted answer from the people here that use the 'quarter' measure more often than I do.
