I don't think I mentioned that we got wood yesterday. I think I did. It is very wet. I'm hoping I'm just being paranoid about it being so wet, but there's some sign that it's stuff I wouldn't want in a use that I'm relying on it staying strong in a hidden location. We have a tester, but I'm not sure how good it is. The wood which is clearly drier than it was when we got it, is at 30% or there abouts. Not happy with that, as I'd like to not have to re-season wood that has been kiln dried. I'm hoping the fact it's been kiln dried, means it'll dry fairly quickly. #woodworking #lumber

For #Canada, the most detrimental #tariffs remain in place. #US levies aimed at Canadian manufacturers — including the #automotive, #steel & #aluminum industries — & the #lumber sector were imposed under a different law & are unaffected by the court’s ruling.

There's a small, modern sawmill a few miles away, and these truckloads of logs pass by at least once a day.

The sawmill mostly cuts cottonwood (and some oak) into boards for pallet-making. They also cut oak and walnut into boards for woodworking.

When the election results 🇺🇲 were read my hubby asked my opinion. "It's too late now," was my only response. "His followers are brainwashed cult thanks to the lower education."
Please just be economic war. Because, this is a war.

Lumber Prices Are Flashing a Warning Sign for the U.S. Economy ~

“Crashing wood prices are troubling because they have been a reliable leading indicator on the direction of the housing market as well as broader economic activity.”

Changing Industrial Infrastructure

A few days ago I described seeing thousands of European Starlings on and near a rail dock. Well, maybe there were only hundreds, not thousands, but they were very noisy so it felt like thousands. At the time, I didn’t pay much attention to the structure they were perched on, so today I went back to take a closer look and, to my dismay, all the birds had gone. There was one solitary crow cawing loudly, but otherwise the building was bird-free.

I decided to take some more pictures of the rail dock because it seems now to be disused. At least, it doesn’t look as though it has been used for some time; grass is growing on the wooden boards, and the metal towers need a coat of paint. I should add that I have no idea what this building is formally called, so I am calling it a rail dock with gantries. It may have once served the now-defunct coal industry, and it may still serve the lumber industry.

What I saw today contrasts quite considerably from the satellite image on Google Maps. There it shows a lot of lumber in floating booms waiting to be loaded on to freight cars, a couple of dozen trucks and trailers in the parking lot, and a similar number of cars parked nearby. None of those things was there today. Instead, the city has placed several (maybe thirty) lovely flower planter beds around the empty parking areas, and a city worker with water tanker truck was watering the plants as I passed by.

The rail line connects to a railroad freight yard nearby where there are multiple train tracks and I wonder where they all go to. It did not look very busy when I passed by. There must be an opportunity here for tourism to nearby parks and to other cities on Vancouver Island, but currently it is not set up for passenger traffic.

Now I am wondering about the history and the fate of this structure. As its original purpose seems to be diminished or gone, perhaps it will be abandoned. I don’t know who is the owner or if the city has responsibility for it. If any reader can add insight into this, I will appreciate it.

US and EU release details of trade deal featuring broad 15 per cent tariff https://www.diningandcooking.com/2244560/us-and-eu-release-details-of-trade-deal-featuring-broad-15-per-cent-tariff/ #car #Deal #eu #francais #france #French #FrenchWine #lumber #Pharmaceuticals #semiconductors #spirits #tariffs #trade #US #Wine

#Trump’s updated #tariff rate does not impact goods that are primarily manufactured in #Canada, one of the provisions of the US-Mexico-Canada (#USMCA) agreement negotiated during his 1st term. #MarkCarney said that move would keep the country’s overall tariff rate low, among the lowest of all its foreign #trade partners.
However, Carney said other sectors of the #economy, including #lumber, #steel, #aluminum & #cars, would be significantly impacted, & his govt would explore protective measures.

Cheap/free lumber season. Check your local Christmas tree lot, esp. at major retailers. Three years ago, I bought the lumber -- the remains of a Christmas Tree display made out of 4x6's and 2x4's -- for $100, and built an entire shed from scratch and had so much wood left over I gave the rest to a friend for free. It required 4 hours with a power drill to remove all the screws in the wood in parking lot (and multiple trips), but it was well worth the effort. You may just find they are going to throw the whole thing in the waste bin out back, talk to the manager. #bargain #tips #scavenging #lumber #diy

Just found out that when our local provincial parks cut trees to maintain paths, they cut them in slabs and auction entire log on govt auctions site. Money made goes back into conservation efforts. Currently bidding on couple of ash and black cherry logs…….
This could get seriously expensive 😬

I've got a lot of wood in the shop. Most of it is lumber to be made into stairs...I'm just waiting for it to dry. I milled it from trees around the property...and some from the neighbor that did some thinning. #milling #woodmill #lumber
