Those must be a full 2"? Pine definitely saws better than the :-\.

Nope, 1.5x5.5 so that I can still use joist hangers and regular length screws etc

Following with interest, as I too have an oportunity to get some free pine logs. My buddy has seen them and says they are good - 36" and below with few limbs. However, I think a lot of them have already been cut to length and may only be 8' long.

For some reason, I just can't get too excited yet.

"Free" pine logs means that you get to spend $5000 to run power to the chicken house so that you can run fans so that the "free" pine boards do not mold and mildew

I thought about taking a generator down there and running a 220 3hp fan on the stack while pouring bleech in the back side of the fan.... bet thatll stink.

That would work as long as you did not stop pouring the bleach :-\.

Looks like you got your trailer fixed up just in time to haul the lumber! Nice photos, too.

I also got the back stops rigged up on a lever 8) the two backstops are tied together with a chain and two sprockets and I have a long piece of angle iron ran from a lever on one back stop to the lever I built next to the hydraulic controls. Now I just need hydraulic feed (already have most the parts for it), setworks, and an offbearer and I wont have to move ;D
