You can find locally produced wood from your area just as cheep if you
look hard enough. Also, go the the websites of portable sawmills,
(Woodmizer, etc.) They have lists of people who have bought their
machines. Find someone in your area and contact them. Have them call
you when they have lumber to sell.


Have you ever actually been to any of areas some of us live in?

I have absolutely no way to store more than say, 150 bf/ft of stock,
much less unusable stock that isn't dry. Since a 1/2 acre empty lot
in my neighborhood goes for ~$75,000, I think the lumber dealer is
providing me with a good value by holding all that stock until I need
it. G
