osb vs cdx

Postby aunt betty » Fri Jul 19, 2013 7:41 am

Pricing sheeting for my chicken coop.
OSB costs 14.89/ sheet and CDX is 14.99.
I think I will splurge and spend the extra cash for real plywood.
Cant believe splurging is going to cost me forty cents extra. lol
I've heard that it's incredibly stupid to fuck around with a crazy man's head.

OSB is $15 a sheet? Holy crap. We were that high a couple years ago, but been down to about $9-$11 recently. $15 for floor scraps and glue. Amazing.

I think transportation is the cost. Plus I live in this College town where every damned thing is inflated then taxed.
Really, just for a joke I priced CDX and shit when I saw that. Makes me want to drive to some jobsites and see whats going onto roofs. If it was my building, I would pay the extra DIME a sheet to get some quality.
And they say I am the crazy one.??????

The shitty thing about CDX is that it is wavy. Definitely better in my eyes than OSB...but id rather work with OSB.

Its $15 a sheet here too for 7/16"
However cdx is $20. Last year OSB was $5 a sheet.

You're right about that- putting CDX on as sheathing is a pain. In. The. Ass.

Yup and usually looks just a bowy when its up. We never use it but if i could get it the same price as osb i would use it for home projects.

Its a chicken coop. Painting osb is ugly as fuck. Thats why I chose CDX.
The largest piece is 80" x 30". It will be fine.
Maybe I will use deck stain. Barn red.

$40 a sheet here. The stuff I used was clearances out for $16, so that was a no brainer.
