Hi Folks,
My first project will be a picket fence (about 450 feet of fence, about 5 feet tall). I think I saw a suggestion on here to buy rough wood and plane it myself to save money. I found a good price on the DW734 and before I buy it wanted to double check to see if that is a good idea since I can't find the thread any more.
If the suggestion is to buy rough, then can someone tell me what to ask for? All of the wood I have purchased in the past has been from a big box store.
I am planning on pressure treated for the posts as I read on here that I should use PT instead of cedar when in contact with soil/water.
