April 12, 20179 yr Popular Post comment_106078 Today was the day to go do a little lumber shopping. I had a lady call me about these logs that were stacked close to her house and she wanted them gone. He husband had cut them and stacked them and she had no idea what it was and he had passed away. So I told her I would be happy to get them out of her way. She said come and get it. So this is how I shop for lumber. Much easier to put them on the trailer this way and easy to handle. After they were loaded I headed to the saw mill and let them unload them. He will call when me when they are ready to cut. I had him to cut them 5/4's. It will run .20/BF. Hard to beat those prices and it is nice to have friends with big equipment. So now I am back home and cleaning up the shop. Report
April 12, 20179 yr comment_106084 We just do not have that opportunity around here for lumber like that. Makes me a little jealous... That is the way to handle the logs though. When I cut firewood, I use an excavator to hold the log off the ground at a comfortable height to buck it up. Edited April 12, 20179 yr by Chips N Dust Report

She said it had been around three years. She was afraid snakes were going to be in the pile and it was close to the house. Report
