Tommy Posted March 29, 2021 Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 All are .63in I know that swirls are difficult but I'm gonna guess all of these are Alleys...🤞. ....thanks for looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted March 29, 2021 Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 I think you got them, Tommy. The only one I might question is #3 but it may well be Alley too. The first one with bright white and yellow on that cream/tan base is a nice one. Yellow like that is not too common on Alleys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Posted March 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 Sweet thanks Ric. Been looking at lots of Alleys in the posts. Good to know on the rare colors I like to keep them closer to the front of their section. Im doing it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 I think they have nails on sale at Coast to Coast, the lumber may have to wait, my buddy wet to buy 1 (one) 8 ft. sheet of plywood the other day $59.00 & it was a blow, full of knots. Fir has tripled if not quadrupled in price in the last few months & I live 4 miles from the largest log export dock in the world here in Longview Washington. You may be building your new mib shed out of old barn boards so...... ....and.........and...........and then....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad G. Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 Yessir !! UMmm..... Hmmm..... !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 I heard lumber had increased 80% in price the last three months. But I have not seen the price of timber increase any. If timber prices increase 80%, I may get my bigger chain saw out of retirement ? Maybe lumber is going to be like toilet paper ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 I live right here in timber city U.S.A.. WA. state. Everyone and their dog is logging everything they have. Fir is at an all time high, especially export logs. I drove up the hill where I lived as a kid in Rainier yesterday Pop. 1800. I lived 10 miles out of town, & it looks like a hurricane hit it, everything is flattened, cut down or being cut down, not so much the alder as most of it goes into pulp for PNW paper prods. My brother in law works at Boise cascade making toilet paper as a machine operator, last year they couldn't keep up with all three machines running full tilt, usually there's just one machine maybe 2 running. I worked at 3 jippo mills myself as a kid until I got my welding certs and started building tugboats. There are 7 mills within 10 miles of me, including the worlds largest export log dock 3 miles away right here in Longview on the Columbia river. The longshoremen fill 2 big ships a day. Mostly going you know where (China) they're stockpiling & sinking the logs in ponds that keep underwater for years just like the day they were cut. I'll drive up to Home Depot or Lowes tomorrow & take some pics of the empty lumber racks & the price tags, I couldn't believe it " absolutely Incredible" Timber prices probably will go up very shortly for you Ron, I live right on the hub, it all centers around exporting & the stagnation the U.S. housing mkt. went through during the C19 last year when everything was shut down, the reserves will be gone quick & then you'll be playing catchup like is going on here. Get the family ready Ron, you may be a busy man shortly ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Posted March 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 Wow ...I did notice that last time I was at home depot but I was thinking it was because I'm in the Mojave desert 🏜...and they are building like crazy again in vegas..crazy they still charge you all in the heart of logging country full price....😠 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 More than full price here, double or more, last time I bought plywood it was 3/4" for the deck of my 18.5' fishin boat & it was 30.00 a sheet, I thought it was gold 20 years ago, the stuff they bought the other day was a 1/4" cheap knot filled blow sheet & like I said 59.00 "Highway robbery" I thought 15 -17 bucks a sheet was unreal, I used to work a Multnomah plywood and got it for free 40 years ago, man times have really changed. On the "average" $100,000.00 more to build a hose now than 16 months ago, that's what I said a hundred grand and no I'm not trippin, you heard Ron, 80% more, think about it ???????????????????????? "NUTS" Forget cattle rustlin, I'm goin for them loads of studs or sheet lumber....... .......They'll never recognize me !!! I need a crew, I got plenty of spare bags !! (maybe) Oop !! I forgot they're made of paper too ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
