too much of a good thing
a guy I work with is ripping out a cherry orchard to put in a golf
course and is tearing out most of the trees I've fill my truck 3 time so far with 8"-15" diameter logs 4'-6' long and there is still tons more, the real big stuff can't load by my self so I haven't gotten it yet. SWMBO - is upset because I come home late (doesn't care how much money I'm saving, doesn't understand why I don't use pine to build stuff) and how much room I'm going to take up with this (thinks the garage is for parking cars) Co-worker - Wants to burn it and be done with it, and it really being nice by letting be sort though the slash piles ME - I'm upset because I need a bigger truck or a trailer and some help, some of logs I can't hardly more let alone load into the truck so I can bring stuff home like I said to much of a good thing |

I am not sure I would bother with the 8" stuff. By the time you get past the sapwood there won't be much left. Every make lumber before? You are in for quite an adventure. |

You are in for quite an adventure. did a bunch of maple, willow, and cherry last spring, so now it's nice and cured, the cherry turned out really nice, same with the maple, the willow is so, so, wasn't expecting much but it was free but the labor and if you stain it right it looks kinda like walnut, just not as heavy or hard |

Ahhh, the self-delusion of the home woodworker. Rationalize yourself into buying more tools so you can save money building or using something else. Unfortunately, the delusion never ends and you're constantly buying more tools to save more money ad infinitum. It's only a number of years down the road that most of us realize just *how much* money we spent trying to save money. At least we had a good time trying to save all this money. Better than the guy with a whole boatload of saved cash who is mostly too old to enjoy it. |

I think this is better than spending it at a bar or the pursuit of a bigger and bigger number on a financial statement and then ending up giving it all to a nursing home at the end. Enjoy life now. Hard to say how much any of us have. |

Believe me, I tried the boat thing about 30 years ago and like the old saying goes, a boat is a _hole_ in the water where you can throw your money. "Boatload of saved cash!" Sheesh... that's agood one. Reminds me of when SWMBO comes home with a carload (and it's a station wagon too) of bags and boxes after shopping at the big sale, and says something like "I could have saved another two hundered dollars if I hadn't tun out of money..." -- No dumb questions, just dumb answers.

In our previous house, the only time the van was in the garage was before we moved in. That big 10' door is to let you get the table saw outside and the plywood in!
