And some of it is tragic. Imagine 3 16′ true dimension 2X6s, so heavy I can barely lift them one at a time. Somebody made them into…something, I don’t know, part of a fence maybe, and then left them in the dirt for the termites. Can’t imagine what they originally cost, and now they’re good for nothing but firewood. Had to cut them up to get them into the trailer. There was a bunch of stuff like that, just dropped in the dirt. Crazy.
I filled the trailer to the top and still left 12 8′ 2X6s for tomorrow. I think I may actually finish this business tomorrow, which would be great. I put in my longest day today, and my back is singing soprano.
As a guy who likes building things out of wood this is a sad thing. Given the uses these 2X6s could have been put to… sigh. Well at least they will help keep you warm next winter.
To Joel, every pile of discarded wood has a silver lining. 🙂 No point in letting it go to waste!
just make sure they are not pressure treated… they make poison when you put them in the wood stove….
No, any processed wood went into the dumpster.
