The ones
on the trailer are all 7 to 9 feet long.

Which leads me to ask you guys what lenght you guys
purchase (or cut) your lumber to when you store it...?

I have a cramped shop... and can store up to about a 6
foot slab without any space problems...8 foot is too long
to "fit"... BUT most of the "wood" I do find seems to be
in the 7 to 9 foot range also...

which means I have to cut it ..to store it !

4 foot is too damn short for some projects and 2 foot much too short for
others...So It seems that I cut the slabs about 5 foot in lenght which lets
me store 5 foot sections and 3 foot sections...
