My exterior walls are built with 2x4 studs. All my interior walls are
built with 2x3's. The home was built in the 50's. Every lumber yard
I've been to in NJ sells 2x3's -- I built a shed with 2x3's a couple
years ago.

Hang on Dan. Home Depot sells'em. It's a standard item.

Mea Culpa.

I went to the Southern Pine Association site that lists standard
products:
http://www.southernpine.com/standardsizes.shtml

I was shocked to see some of the sizes that are listed as
standard. I don't spend much time at the Borg stores, but I am
quite conversant at "real" lumber yards. I will need to ask about
the price and availability of 2 1/2 x 18 planks or 3/8 x 4 finish
lumber. I am curious. If the stuff is readily available, I've
been missing out on some good stuff.

I am sorry for any mis-statements I made earlier, I was speaking
the truth as I know it. I have now found that there can be 2x3's
and 1x5's - I've just never seen them. I really oughta get out a
little more.
