Yup, that's just one of those things.Sounds like I should have spent more and be done with it for the composite material LOL
The price difference between the lumber vs composite was enough to buy a brand new car. When I'm pulling money out to pay for it, I become a little more cheaper.Yup, that's just one of those things.
Years ago I needed to build a small "deck" to act as a base for a 10x15 Lifetime shed. I expected it to last 10 years (being plastic).
So I went to Home Depot and they had some of the "new" composite stuff. But they had mistakenly priced it just slightly less than PT 2x6.
So I bought some.
It was another "butt-kicker" mistake.
Came back a few days later and it was priced like now.
Should have bought all my van could carry.
That little deck is still almost as good as new.
(When I make buying mistakes like that my leg hurts from kicking my butt)

EDIT - In my defense, my wife agreed wholeheartedly.
Believe me, I'm not beating myself up over itI wouldn't sweat it. Work with what you have and move on.
