    I recently was scrolling through doordash or Uber eats and saw that Home Depot was a choice. Out of genuine curiosity, I went and looked at if they had lumber for sale. Sure enough you can buy 4x4s that are 20 ft long. I was very tempted to try and order one to see what the doordash driver would even do with it.

    FYI: Home Depot sells ratchet straps and rags for less than $10. First time I made this mistake with my car I just padded the roof with rags and ratchet strapped the shit to the roof.

    The next time I went I had crossbars and used the same ratchet straps.

    I’ve hauled more shit in my $16k sedan on $200 crossbars than 90% of $90k+ superduty pickup owners

        They do rent trailers for this exact reason. Home Depot rents trucks by the hour too.

          And they are like $20. Which is like 2 bananas or something

    Home depot has very affordable delivery. Still a pain to create your order online, with how their distribution works.

    Are these AI? Or really terrible image compression?

    Separately, bottom left looks like it would start a fire if they drive long enough dragging that wood on the pavement!

    I got to dodge some lumber on the way to work the other day.

    It was going from rear driver side window to front passenger window, sticking about 3ft into my lane. The driver was “holding” about 20-30 2x4s.

    Fun times.

    Just get a buddy to sit in the back with a hand on it, maybe give it a good “ain’t goin’ nowhere” while they give it a pat.

    Seems to work for all the construction crews in my area.
