I don't trust box stores for lumber so if you have to go to those extremes go to a real lumber yard and NOT lowes or HD.. They only sell sh*t for lumber..

They both sold good lumber at one point in time, but then things changed with the way lumber is treated.  Since then the stuff from the Big Box stores can only be considered a temporary product, at best.  I built a ramp to a shed with Lowe's lumber rated for ground contact.  3 years later it was a pile of mush.  The shed it was attached to was still standing strong, 20 years after it was built with lumber from...Lowe's.
