So, as for Lumber yards having better advice... I Just came from a real lumber yard where I asked the MANAGER "I need a few 2x that has an orange color, i think Fir but I'll know it when I see it..."
his reply "That's called green fir, you don't want that stuff. You want the white stuff, it's the same thing as it turns white after it's kiln dried"

AHHHH..... NO!

Went into Home Depot and found 2x10x8 and finally took better note of the exact type. It's Douglas Fir. So, if you plan on building anything nice from construction lumber make sure you get Douglas Fir. http://www.wood-database.com/lumber-...s/douglas-fir/
