Title: I busted a hump yesterday
Post by: Dan_Shade on April 10, 2010, 11:24:37 AM
The customer is residing the barn in the background of the photos.

The job scaled at 2600bf, and it took me almost 10 hours to wrap up, counting a lunch break.  There were a lot of 1x12s and 1x10s, with a handful of 6 and 8" boards.  I should have taken a picture of the mess, I almost needed him to pull the mill out with his tractor!

The customer sticked up the stack, on my suggestion.  I didn't realize he did the two stacks that close together until they were 2/3 the way done the second one!  at least it's better than dead stacked lumber.  He plans to put up the siding in the fall.

You did good.  I managed 1781 bf of mostly 1X12 SYP for siding yesterday in about 6 hours.  I didn't get a picture, but any day sawing is a good day...... 8)
