You're welcome! glad you can get something out of my ramblings.<br /><br />Hey Pablo! Well, what Ed said, he explained it great, but you are right about the grain alternating. It does matter which way you lay it though. Think about it this way: if you lay say, a 1/2" sheet of plywood out in the weather. It will start cupping across the short width, not the length because of the structure which Ed explained.<br /><br />Hey IR! Ha! some of them don't ever learn it would seem! lol!<br />Thank you for your kind words and I do believe I care a lot too but then sometimes I'm just being too picky about things and cause myself undue stress.! <br /><br />Hey Ed! Thanks! and great explanation on the plywood.MamaHenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17018971960706063902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22455933.post-76092630025153777982011-05-21T06:56:29.635-05:002011-05-21T06:56:29.635-05:00Pablo - Plywood is always made of an odd number of...Pablo - Plywood is always made of an odd number of layers with the top and bottom layers oriented the length of the sheet. This means there are always more layers oriented with the length of the sheet than across it and thus is is stronger in that direction.<br /><br />Edifice Rex - That last part is right on!Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214319366049620074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22455933.post-67241535799566968242011-05-21T05:35:23.539-05:002011-05-21T05:35:23.539-05:00I have to both admire and chuckle over your forcef...I have to both admire and chuckle over your forceful way of thinking about the "brainiac." yes, it is good when we learn from someone else's mistakes instead of our own, but does the one making the mistake ever learn? So sorry your heart is giving you troubles. It is probably overtired from caring as much as you do. For you do care a lot and that is admirable! Take care of yourself, too, though!Island Riderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04338707720934732800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22455933.post-74740137533511856562011-05-21T03:30:52.408-05:002011-05-21T03:30:52.408-05:00I thought the design of plywood was such that the ...I thought the design of plywood was such that the grain alternated with each sheet that is sandwiched together. Thus just because the grain on the "outside" is going one way, the grain on the inside panels would be going the other, and so it wouldn't matter which way you laid it. Am I wrong?<br /><br />You have some lucky chickens -- until you eat them, of course.Pablohttp://www.roundrockjournal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22455933.post-1251910226640850452011-05-21T03:14:53.001-05:002011-05-21T03:14:53.001-05:00Thanks for all the cool info.
