Interesting. We found some 3/8" drywall in the 1913 house, dating from some renovations that appeared to have been done in the 1950s or 60s. We also found a mummified sandwich.

Modern lumber is planed, so some of that difference is because of losses from that. If you open up the walls of a house built 100+ years ago, you see these thick rough wall studs that never went through a planer. Even with shrinking, it’s close to being actual 2" x 4".
25·23 days agoAt one time a 2 x 4 really was 2" x 4". Very old houses will have these in the walls, not planed and quite rough and splintery. I think I still have splinters from the 1913 bungalow I renovated more than 30 years ago.

I have seen photographs of this, but have never seen it in person. I wonder what special conditions are necessary for this to happen?
