    Since this is dimensional lumber, we'll use the 12" saw and stand, it will ut faster and cleaner than the chainsaw...
    But strapped together and a long bar...:sherlock::sherlock::sherlock:

    Will you miss out on other boards due to your trip?

    I hope not, they usually just throw them to the side. There was a nice pile when we got back from camping, but we will be gone longer this time. Hope it's still there when we get back.

    As hoped, they threw the boards to the side in a pile, so I cleaned the strapping off and loaded the truck, biggest haul yet... 20251018_021351.jpg
    Rearranged the little shed, gave the plywood to our son, made a single stack of the little short boards, then stacked the bigger stuff. 20251018_173131.jpg
    I believe there is almost a tote full here...

    Well, the construction crew got more anchors placed this week. A nice load of boards was there. A lot more oak this time... 20251025_140313.jpg

    After stacking yesterday's score, the half size shed is pretty much full, at least from this side... 20251025_185050.jpg
    About time to break out the stand and chop saw.
