Good Morning Friends,

Working outdoors at this time of the year can be kind of fun if properly dressed for the weather but, when it comes to getting the lumber for framing a wall sometimes would mean knocking ice and snow off the wood in order to work with it. The good part is that the low humidity due to the cold made the wood have less moisture in it.

What methods would one use to get the ice and snow off the boards in order to work with them?

Cover them with a tarp.

Good Morning Harry,

That would be the most logical answer and in most cases it is the only answer for the 4 mill plastic can't be beat for it comes in nice wide rolls before unfolding it to cover the wood or even send and any other items we don't want to get wet.

I even have some left over to spread over the items I may be delivering, that will help protect it/them against the weather when driving down the road. It may be dry when you start out but, as you travel along you may run into changing weather that would normally make life miserable or ruin the piece you are taking to it's new home.

 

Thanks for your support.
