I needed to buy some particle board for the sub-flooring in my house.  I wanted to buy 1 inch but the thickest that they had was 31/32.  Really??!!  They couldn’t make it an inch?  It will work just fine, of course, but these new odd sizes are annoying at best and confusing at worst.  I guess a 1/32 of an inch can make all of the difference in the world.  Maybe it is really metric and that it what it translates to in inches.
