Craigslist deal - went to pick up some lumber. I got there today. The guy showed me the building and said "Take what you want, just leave the jet ski and the mower". I said that I only had the 250.00 I brought. He said that didn't matter and he left. I left with 40 2x10s 14-16' long, 2 LVLs 1 16" wide by 16' long, other 14" wide by 12', 4 sheets of 3/4 OSB, 400sqft of vinyl siding, a box of j-channel and a box of starter strips, 4 8' treated 4x4s and various and assorted 3/4" pine. The door I wanted had a hole in one side. There was some tin but it didn't match my dad's barn roof else I would have taken it. I would have loaded up more lumber but I was on a schedule.

Well you know you did okay.
So how does the stuff look? Some of the nicest/straightest dimensional lumber I've ever seen is stashed away in the garages/barns of guys that found some nice stock and purchased it "in case I need it some day." -
The suckage! You own it. Plus you lifted and loaded it all with a fresh hernia. I'm impressed.Last edited by sparkeyjames; 11-08-2009, 04:57 PM.Comment

Well I had help, but actually the hernia hasn't bothered me much. I didn't know I had it till the doc diagnosed it. Since then the only thing that has really bothered it is working on a ladder with my arms over my head. When I get off the ladder and get out of that position, then it is fine.David

That's what I was thinking. I work every day with a herniated abdominal muscle, and because the pain is minimal I continue. It's the calm before the storm. If I don't get it fixed soon, I'm sure I'll be visiting the ER. It's my own fault if I have knowledge and ignore it.
