Serious question, has anyone else noticed how much better old school plywood was?
Honestly, I used to think people complaining about modern lumber were just being dramatic. Been building sheds for 15 years now, small company over in Akron. Last month I tore down an old 1970s shed to put up a new one for a customer. That old plywood was heavy, solid, barely any voids in the middle. The new stuff I picked up at the big box store felt like cardboard in comparison. I had to double up the sheathing on one wall just to get the same rigidity. It took a lot more screws and effort than I planned, and the customer asked why it looked thicker than the old shed. Really makes me wonder what we're paying for nowadays. Has anyone else run into this with their own projects?
