I ended up returning about 20% and cherry picked the replacements. Not sure if it was due to the Hancock name but very disappointing for a lumber yard.
Who ever I end up with for this garage, I'll have to pay attention to who they use for lumber.
I built a screen porch a couple years ago and ordered all my PT from Middleton, had to return 25% of it and go to HD and pick out my own lumber to replace the crap that they sent me.
