Went to look at 1 by 4 for cabin trim yesterday. I could spend a month looking for enough good 1 by 4s for this trim….Am I ranting?..

Where in Missouri?
I know a few good places in/near Kansas City.
Im just south of the city...love a suggestion where the quality is acceptable
Try Schutte Lumber or Paxton Lumber
Schutte Lumber Company (816) 753-6262 3001 Southwest Blvd, Kansas City, MO
Frank Paxton Lumber (816) 483-0659 6311 Saint John Ave, Kansas City, MO
I've never actually been to Paxton myself though I've ordered a few things from them in the past. Schutte is a huge lumber yard and I've never been un-happy.

I just saw the un-happy user on Yahoo for Schutte. I've never once been un-happy and only recently re-opened our account there. We use them rarely because of the distance from Lawrence but everytime I've been a walk in customer I've been treated great.
Paxton would be fine had the stock market hit 40000 and Obama was a bad memory. Be that as it may, Schutte is a great yard and very nice people. I may call them.
Obama was a bad memory. Be that as it may, Schutte
Schutting yourself in the foot? Probably so.

What kind of 1X4 are you trying to buy? If you're going in trying to by common 1X4 and use it for trim, what do you expect?
You can buy clear 1x4 that will be fine.
