So, the other day I was approached by someone in need getting their shed empty.
They had 2000 board feet of norther white pine they were hoping to sell, for some cash.
All of the boards were in the rough, and fully air dry (I can easily kiln dry any wood, for 20 cents/bf). Widths ranged from 4" to 9". 4/4. I'd grade them as #1common and better.
They only wanted a nickle a board foot. A nickle! I know it's only $100 in their pocket, but the main thing is they wanted to get rid of it.
The only thing holding me back, was I had no place to store it....and they wanted it out of their shed.
I could have rented a storage unit, I think, for about $90/month, to hold it....but they aren't easy to come by near me.
So, I had to pass.
Now...I really don't need the Norther White Pine...but at a nickle, I gotta believe some of you all would have liked some, and I just hated to pass it up.
My question is....the next time I run into a situation like that, do you folks have some suggestions as to how I could capitalize on that incredible deal?
The lumber was in north-central Wisconsin.
