But stumpage prices on timber are still dirt cheap, in spite of lumber being outrageous prices. The world has always been rigged against the little guy, but it seems to be getting worse.

I had to buy 5 sheets of 5v tin 12' long to finish a shed and they were over $30 each. And I bought a couple of 2x4s as a brace for hauling them and they were $10 each. An enterprising young man who didn't mind work could do very well right now with his own little sawmill. After an event like the past hurricane, you can find trees for nothing. I just gave a dozen away to a guy with a sawmill.


All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
