OK - after an extensive search and several failed deals, wifey and I have bought a home out in Essex County near the small village of Harrow and sold our big family home in Windsor. The new place is on four acres and there is definitely room for a pole barn.
The deals close on Sept. 15 and Sept. 23 respectively so we will have a bit of overlap to avoid the looney "where is all my stuff" period between sale and purchase.
Now I need to speak with the local Mr. Pole Barn construction guy - and wait for lumber prices to drop some more.....
What the heck, its only money.
Pete
Heck I thought the reason our lumber prices were so high is that it all comes out of Canada which has been closed, Hmmmmm, Someone's lying
Congratulations, Pete!
Looking forward to seeing how the rich people build a shop...
Pretty knotty subject there Pete. I wood tread carefully though... you might have stumped some people, but I saw right through your rant. Don't take me for a sap buddy. I've plyed myself with too much coffee today... sorry, dint' mean to bark at ya.....Oh come now - a government lie to its own people?
Perish the thought my good man......
Actually, and not to be political here........but the reason that your softwood lumber is so expensive is that the US lumber industry keeps b!tching to the US government about our softwood prices and they slap tarrifs on the wood coming across the border. Those trade actions have happened about once a year for the last 20-30 years - and when they go to court (and they always do), the US government has lost every single time.
The point is that we have more trees than you folks (so our wood is a cheaper) - and your industry cannot keep up with demand (so you need our wood) - and so you always eventually buy them - and the eventual loser is invariably.....you.
Write your congressman today!
MaxPete, will you be inviting us all over for the debut of Colossal Machines? I assume there is a barn on the property for us all to bunk down in???
I was in touch with the pole barn contractor yesterday and we’re talking.
Hi DE,^^^I call bullshit on that. No way one man did that in 8 hours.
Hi DE,
the builder musta been an effin' Stakhanovite, eh?
Or more likely a highly skilled professional building his 49th shed.
And give them some vowels if you have a big heart.Hi Pete,
congratulations on moving to 4 acres in the country.
Your motivation for collecting Polish people aside, best you house them in a bunkhouse instead of a barn.
