Gloat FS - Cherry lumber - eastern Iowa

Jan 01, 2004 14 Replies

about 200 to 250BF of AD cherry available. $250 FIRM



My father-in-law passed away and when I was home over Christmas we started cleaning out a barn. The wood was sawn in 1999 and stickered ever since then. I would guess there is about 80 BF of 8/4, and 150BF of 4/4, and 4 long pieces of 3x3. (I didn't measure any boards - I just stacked them on a hayrack to move them to the main farm.) All rough sawn. Most are around 10 feet long and 6 to 10 inches wide. There are some wide boards in the 12" range. Quality varies from FAS to common grade - although most of the #2 and #3 common I cut up for kindling. The 3x3's have a little warp in them, but are FAS quality. (other than the 3x3's not a lot would qualify as FAS)



Located near Calamus, which is on Highway 30 - about 45 miles East of Cedar Rapids.



Cash only, you have to load it yourself unless you've enough guts to ask my mother-in-law to get out there and help you. 1 pickup load should take it all.



Why do these deals always have to be so far away? Anyone have any great deals on lumber near Houston?

If it's any consolation (and I'm sure it isn't), I'm in Eastern Iowa, but I can't afford to take advantage of it.

Actually, being the New Year and all, it is some consolation. Not that you can't afford to take advantage of it but that I'm fortunate enough to be able to if it was nearby.

I'm sure this will come as no surprise, but the wood has been spoken for and a blind date between the wood and its new owner is set for Tuesday. If for some reason this falls through then I will let you know.

Thanks, Mike

She Who Must Be Obeyed from all the P-whipped guys out there.

Show of hands...how many people knew what SPEBSQSA stood for? My college roommate was and is quite a serious barbershopper, so that's how I knew.

No fair! you gave it away!

Who was recruited, _hard_, by the local chapter, even *after* I stated that the only way I could carry a tune was "in a bucket". I dunno, maybe the chapter membership was down to _three_.

I've been happily married for 19 years Silvan. That moniker just rubs me the wrong way, sounds way to subserviant and not like the partnership that marriage is supposed to be. MUST BE OBEYED!!! give me a break.

OK, how about She Who When Happy Makes My Life Easier instead? SWWHMMLE... Seems too long to me. :)

I think you're a candidate for a humor implant. I could go on, but everyone else reading already knows what I'm talking about. I guess everything you say can be taken at face value and literally.

I have a fine sense of humor, I just don't find that one funny. Now if you want to talk about Bill Brasky...
