Just thought I'd let those who participated in the thread I started last
week, about thin flooring. My son finally got back to the mill and decided
upon the full 1" flooring. Talking with the guy in charge there over beers,
they finally settled on a price for 10" - 14" White Pine, kiln dried, at a
negotiated price of $1.05 per square foot. He placed the order.

^5 for your son. That should be a pretty floor. He'll/you'll have to
post a pics link when finished.

Has he found a good deal on a planer, also? I suppose at least a 15"
one.

Is that S2S? and SLR on one side?

Not sure what he'll do about a planer. Likely, he and I will go in half on
one. We could both use one but neither one of us really need one full time.

Yeah - he cut one hell of a deal on the flooring. I will send pics when
it's done - though, it's likely to be a couple of months.

Rough. Don't know what planing or skip planing would add to the price.
Stay tuned - more information will follow, I'm sure.

Here(Dallas), i pay about 50-60 bucks per thousand bf for S2S and SLR and
it's worth every penny.
The time it would take to do it yourself compared to how quick they can, is
just not worth the trouble

Sixty cents a bd ft is what I paid, until I bought a planer. That was
usually not for a large amount of lumber, though. They may have given
me a better price if I had a large cache to plane.
