Home Depot and Menards are being sued because a "4 x 4" actually measure 3.5" x 3.5" and not 4" x 4"; which is within industry standards, and a 2 x 4 is actually 1.5" x 3.5". Suing for $5 million I think.
Unbelievable. This is where I wish common sense would prevail and a case like this could just be laughed out of court by the judge. Mind you, the standard actual measurements are based on industry standards set by the U.S. Government (or rather an agency thereof).
