Understanding the Grading of Hardwood Lumber by Shannon Rogers @McIlvainLumber

. . . This is not to say that the grading system is broken by any means; but rather, it is just a starting point to get everyone on the same communication plane. NHLA provides these guidelines but encourages communication (and negotiation) between buyer and seller about what is needed and quality required. [ . . . ]

But that's enough of what we've been up to and I do want to jump into a quick post on a note that came through my Inbox last week. And since I'm already currently on weatherization and winterizing (thank you friends @ DAP!), I just wanted to share it on . . . all from Owens Corning's YouTube channel, here >> http://www.youtube.com/user/owenscorning -- worth a look.

Building Moxie and the Remodeling Show :: the 80th Mile Marker

Yep, fortunately for the good people, sponsors: Duquella Tile, Crestview Doors and DAP Products (also at the show), plus a handful of generous donations -- we have raised at least enough for one of us to attend. As it stands today, we are at about $1800. Our goal $2500 and the initial deadline of September 15th. That date, this week, is coincidentally the final day of early registration for the Show.

What a Vision: @CrestviewDoors Amazing! Door-o-Vision

It's not that it is such a bad door -- in fact, it's solid; the luan-skinned 1 3/4 inch flush door has done its job for many years.
It's just that some dumb-dumb (me) left the glass in that self-storing storm door down . . . maybe something like a year ago . . . and it never went back up. A nice stain added now to the door's original blahness. Still, nothing a little paint can't handle, though, right?
But wait! Wouldn't it be fun if we could do, well . . . something more? What? And enter . . . "Ka-Chow!" the Amazing Door-o-Vision by Crestview Doors. [ . . . ]
Jayson Gibson :: Building the Coop D’Grace

With all of the hammering, clanking, nail gunning (and occasional swearing) going on next door, it seemed that my neighbor was “up to something.” I couldn’t resist swinging by to see if he was finally adding on that family room he’s had his mind’s eye focused on for the past few years. Instead, I found him slaving over a barn in miniature. Assuming he wasn’t planning on breeding tiny horses, I realized that my neighbor—like much of the rest of the neighborhood—had caught chicken fever. [ . . . ]
