Not that anyone cares or is interested but i have an update!
Lucky day at the Homo Depot. Found some unexpectedly straight and not bad at all lumber to get started without having to sort through a billion rejects to find the good ones.
What I got:
They didn't charge me for the orange HD bucket the hangers and brackets were in.

Prices were actually a little less than I expected. Came out to $385.66 + $32.01 tax. What I didn’t expect was how heavy a sheet of ¾” 4 x 8 MDF was – OMG!. With all the loading and unloading plus helping the ex-hub load some of his heavy crap to take home with him, I am completely spent and know I am going to be one sorry dog come tomorrow.
Stored all the long boards in the kitchen next to the lathe where they’ll stay clean and dry. Stored the 4 x 8 sheets in the hallway. Rearranged benches and tables and things in my covered outside work area and worked my ass off.

Still need to buy a box of screws to hold the joist hangers and sandpaper for my palm and disks for random orbital sander plus primer and paint. I should end up pretty close to my $550.00 budget?
