Dan, how about some pictures of what you did get?
Sure... few points first though.
First is this doesn't really represent what is there "on the floor". It's what has to be dug for at this point. That's not saying anything bad against anyone it's just fact. No one is going to walk in there and pull 100-200bf of USEFUL wood in 20 min.
Second is, all I did so far was unload and cut ends off of what was basically fire wood. So in that respect it is representative if what you MAY find if you dig a little. I don't really even know how to grade it. I guess the best way to describe it at this point is go to a saw mill and dig thru their scrap pile. You'll find some useful wood but your gonna have to hunt for it. :wsmile:
All in all Jeremy if I were close and it was just me or everyone that wanted some was there I'd go back and dig some more. But if it was more than say 1/2 hour - 45 min away I'd think twice before going back.
Two other things of note are:
First that Charlie said he needs it all out by next Sat. Someone close enough to take it all might have a shot at it if they were interested. I'd estimate there is about 1/2 semi trailer load left in the building IN RAW VOLUME.
Second is that this statement in the original post is not the case:
Charlie is fair when it comes to bad spots in the lumber. If the board is 10' long and the end 2' is worthless, he let's you calculate the footage on 8 feet instead of 10. But you carry the whole board away.
I had a board on the saw buck when Charlie came around one time and asked that very question. As it was the board had 11 bf. After you cut the ends off and figured a 1 in strip or so on each side for rot it may have yielded 5. He expects you to pay for 11bf. I'm not saying he's not being fair about it or it's a bad deal but it's not what was originally posted.
Charlie has some planed there at the shop that he started to play with and it looks like decent wood, but I suspect that was what was there before.
Here ya go... :wsmile:
