It's a good time of the year to buy green lumber

[jeff...]

Just wanted to pass along to the members, if your looking to purchase green lumber. This time of the year is a very good time. It's not to hot and you don't need to be to concerned with exceeding the maximum moisture content loss per day even on species like oak, which is one slowest driers. Also it's not humid so you don't need to be to concerned with mold growth either. By using proper air drying techniques, you should be very successful. I guess what I'm saying is it's ideal conditions for air drying fresh cut lumber. Come spring or early summer you should be able to move it into your shop and let it finish acclimating or dehumidify it or be able to take it to a kiln operator and have it polished off fairly inexpensively.

I hope this will spark an interesting thread.

On a side note... I've been working my tail off the last few weeks trying to get caught up from vacation. Thankfully the list of todo's is getting shorter and assuming everything goes well, I hope to have my back orders filled by the end of next week. If I have overlooked anyone here, please knock me upside the head, I have a tendency to forget things pretty easy when I'm running around like my hair is on fire. If I have forgotten something please remind me.

It's funny even when your on vacation the work still keeps coming in there's just no body around to do it...

Thanks
