John,have any idea about parking on the left hand side facing Paul Banyon? That would be facing the expo off main street.Or does the construction have that all blocked off? I like to park there instead of out back.

Ray, do you mean the lot behind the Irving? I don't think that's an option but I'm not sure. I'm going by later today, I'll try to see if it's open. (Thinking it is being used by the construction folks.) The new auditorium butts right up to Paul and is completely fenced off. I'm guessing ppl could park in the casino garage if they wanted to. Like Snowstorm I just go up Buck St and park on the infield. It's pretty easy on Friday not sure what it's like on Sat.

Jim, if I could afford the consultation fee I'd have you stay an extra day and have you out to the house to help figure out my plan of attack on my old (timberframe) farmhouse. Twisted/rotted grits, bad sills, sagging roof, wonky field stone foundation,you name it I got it. ;D I'll start a post on the timberframe section when I get closer to diving into it. I digress...I like the lunch time meet up idea. Logrite should have their own booth, at least they did last time. Or the WM one or...(dare I suggest it ??? :-\ ;)) the Peavey booth. ;D

Kinda what I figured about the parking in front,main street. I like it better than outback. It just seem closer to me out front so I can go to the car to drop of my loot. ;D

Planning on going to the show, it's a short 12 hour drive for me. The wife is coming too I guess leaving on Thursday afternoon and driving most of the way and coming to show Fri morning and part of day Saturday.

Should be getting our passes in the mail soon!

Piston · April 24, 2013, 07:04:51 AM

I was looking forward to meeting some of you guys at the expo, but it turns out I have to go to a company meeting down in FL that weekend. :( I'm sure you'll all figure out a way to have fun without me though. :D

thecfarm · April 24, 2013, 07:59:28 AM

Piston,that is too bad. There will be one in VT next year.

logman81 · May 07, 2013, 10:44:38 AM

It's getting close to that time! Counting down the days. Should see our passes in the mail this week.

thecfarm · May 10, 2013, 07:40:08 AM

Maybe today I will get the passes.

Jim_Rogers · May 10, 2013, 07:50:00 AM

JohnM and all: On Thursday the 16th, I'll be traveling to VT to go to a school teaching timber framing that week/day; to offer our tools for sale to the students there. And then traveling home Thursday night. I won't have time to unload the tools before I head to Bangor on Friday morning. So they will be with me. Just saying, if anyone would like to view what we have you'd be welcome to walk out to the parking lot with me and see.

I would love to take a look at least Jim, if not buy anything that day. Can't afford anything major (my mill comes first! ;))) but I can start getting an idea of what I'll need down the road. It's (timberframing) something I've always wanted to do but have never taken the steps to learn about.

One week to go. 8)

Sorry I didn't read through this entire post but YES YES YES let's meet at the Logrite booth so we can take a picture of everyone! Also, I think I may have a few passes if someone needs them. I will have to look and see what was in my show packet.

Sounds like nice weather for the expo. Looks like me alone on Saturday. The Grandson is not doing good in school,again. :( The parents told him that he has to do better,homework wise. He did not,so there goes the Expo. :'(

Wise parents.
Good for them, but sorry you don't get the enjoyment of the two of you at the Expo.

JohnM · May 16, 2013, 08:28:10 PM

See y'all tomorrow! ;D

logman81 · May 16, 2013, 09:09:09 PM

Yup hope to see some of you.

thecfarm · May 16, 2013, 09:15:43 PM

John,I hope to see you for breakfast at McDonalds. I will have my FF hat on and suspenders. And I hope to see more members through out the day.

JohnM · May 16, 2013, 10:27:13 PM

Yep, I'll be there Ray and at Logrite at noon(ish).

Hey, there was a write up on the expo in the weekly little newspaper we get in the mail around here (it's called The Weekly...who'd da thunk it?!!). The director of the expo said "I think the exhibitor who's come the furthest to this show is a portable sawmill manufacturer from Australia."

Lucas?! Dare I hope?! :D They are not on the exhibitor list but I don't of any other manufacturers down there. Know of several from NZ but not Aus. We'll see soon enough!
