[Big Grey Wolf]

Most homes now built with MDF which I call cardboard wood. Your pine way better than MDF. Most rig matts now being built with fir so I am sure boys not paying $1000/FBM. Last house I built, Nelson lumber had lots of fir at similar price to spruce. 2x10,s should still be available which you can cut down, always very good quality wood. Best home builders still used it for joists on high end homes. Kiln dried probably only @19% MC though.
