nice pic's Steve. lol i saw the pecker poles, thats exactly what we have here. they chip up the big poplar around here, i'll hafta post some of the pics i have from the weekend job i have with a local timber company soon. i get to keep all the dry dead standing stuff i can cut and pile on my coffee and lunch breaks i have 20 cords already should have possibly 80 by the end of the job were at now. funny thing is it's across the road from where i live and they let me load it in the dump truck and bring it to my wood lot at the end of the day, i have to fill up what i use for fuel thats it. lol pretty sweet deal i think.

Hey Bob,

I have been pretty busy for almost 3 months (knock wood). But as you guys know, it's one job too the next based on whatever the crew boss comes up with. Never any guarentees. We'll be knocking off pretty soon now due too Spring and mud season. We were also notified that the hardwood pulp mill up the road about 40 miles is closing indeffinatly in May. Not looking real promising. Most of the guys I know have been working but they're all coming too shutdown pretty quick as it starts too warm up. Prices have been pretty poor.

Same thing here. We're still pecking away at the burn salvage from last summer's fires but it's spotty at best. There's still no lumber market to speak of and nobody really wants logs.
One of our bigger mills is shutting down for an indefinite period of time. It's the largest private employer in it's area and just about the only employer, too.

Tell you what...you order some lumber from us and we'll order some paper from you guys. Some of the lumber in our mills has been there so long it has moss growing on it's north side.
