We're planning to kick things off at 10 am. It looks like the weather should be ok until later in the afternoon.

For anybody that needs directions, please send me an e-mail via NCWW. My cell phone is 919-291-0095 in case you need to contact me directly.

I'll have some soda's and water available; more importantly, the shop toilet facilities at present are comprised solely of a urinal - no toilet, so please plan ahead! If needed, I can send someone over to our house to use the more complete facilities there.

See y'all then.

I still think you need to get the western annex up and running! Maybe somewhere in the greater Mills River area would be nice...

Does that mean, "Bring your own five gallon bucket and shovel:rotflm:+ stop at Burger King and ask for EXTRA napkins?

You'd think a guy with all this lumber and collection of tools could build a decent outhouse...

Can't wait until Saturday!

See this amazing toilet flush 18 golf balls. Never worry with clogs again. Email me and I can provide you a link to see the video of it working or go to the popular video internet site, just search "American Standard Toilet Flushing Championships"

Brand new in box Model 4260.016.020 white, tank only. You can pick up a round or elongated bowl or tall bowl at home depot or lowes to match. Any American Standard Champion bowl will work. They retail the tank for $128, get it for $50 New in Box.

The manufacturer says...Meet the Champion 4, the undisputed leader in high performance toilets. With the industry's widest 2 3/8" trapway and 4" flush valve, it created a plunger free world for homeowners and virtually eliminated clogged toilet call backs for plumbers. The Champion will move a mass 70% larger than the industry standard. It achieves the highest bulk removal rating of 1,000 grams and will even flush a bucket of golf balls! Which means you can flush with confidence and never worry about plunging a toilet again.

Hmm.... so you think that I need one of these, eh?

Now Mark, are you insinuating that the group that will be here tomorrow will have a larger mass of, uh, well, you know.... than average, or is it just me????:rotflm:

On a related note...

SAN FRANCISCO, March 1 (UPI) -- San Francisco officials said $14 million is being spent on bleach to deal with sludge backups from low-flow toilets

Read more: http://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2011/03...oilet-stink/UPI-99811298970000/#ixzz1FgNpoV38

So lets look at the numbers...

  • For San Francisco to save 20 million gallons of water annually.
  • They spend $100 million refit of the city's sewer system and sewage plants.
  • Then they spend $14 million on a three-year supply of highly concentrated sodium hypochlorite, commonly known as bleach. (That's 14m/3) 4.67 million a year.
Scott just my opinion avoid the stink and extra expense of bleach - go with the Champion 4 :gar-La;

How did the lumber run go today? I really wanted to come and help fling boards, but got stuck eating cake and ice cream at my nieces 8th birthday party instead.

On a positive note I picked up a used Husqvarna 3120XP chainsaw with a 48" bar at the birthday party, I just could not pass up on it. I have a real sweet tooth for chain saws, expecially Husqvarna :gar-La; According to the manual it's a 8.4 horse power beast. It feels like it weighs about 25 lbs, I know it would give me a whopping if I had to swing it around all day long... I don't think the saw has seen much work, it's clean as can be for a chainsaw. According to the former owner, he bought it and only cut up one big oak tree with it and said it's just to much saw for him. I tend to believe him since it still has the orginal bar and chain on it. I may end up putting a 5' bar and rip chain on it and use it to quartering over sized southern IL logs.

So I guess it was good I missed the lumber run after all.

Been wandering the same. Any pics pending? I too would have liked to have shown up and helped where I could have, but between having to start another project and the past work week being one of the roughest ones in a long time.

We had a great turnout today for the lumber run! Somewhere between 30 - 40 NCWW members showed up to take advantage of the deals and goodies.

Available specials included a Zebrawood:



African Mahogany (this was a big hit with the NCWW members. I ended up foregoing any for myself, and every last board was snarfed up quickly!)



Some green cypress that NCWW member Ivey Pridgen just milled:



Although they did not sell, some white oak burls were available at a great price. These would be perfect for making a coffee table, etc from:



NCWW member Travis (Mt.Gomer) picked up his dad's Roubo workbench Quartersawn red oak slab. It will be headed to Ohio next week to continue on it's journey to becoming a custom work bench. Travis's slab was on the bottom of this stack:



And there were thousands of board feet of quartersawn white and red oak to choose from, fresh from the kiln!



Here's the crew that showed up by 10 am. Within an hour, another 10 - 15 NCWW members arrived to snarf up some lumber.


All in all, it was a great NCWW day! We were able to meet some new folks, renew acquaintenances with many other NCWW members, and all in all have a good time.

I'd like to extend my personal thanks to everybody that purchased quartersawn oak, sycamore and cypress from me today. It's been a long road getting my wood business launched, and I sincerely appreciate the support and patronage from our NCWW community. We have an outstanding group of members, and I for one feel fortunate to be a part of this great community.

WOW A King Sized Lumber Run :thumbs_up There's a lot of hard work and preparation that goes into a lumber run. But the best part is getting a bunch of NCWWers together and all the good that follows. It's just something about the spirit of NCWW that sets it's members apart from the rest, hands down, NCWWers are the best.

What a awesome picture, worthy of a QSWO frame :cool:

Went just to have fun. Dropped some cash. Hey you can't go to a wood run and walk away with nothing. I need to come back in a month or so for some of that cypress.

Thanks to Scott and Dan for all the hard work.
