labor and is hard, time consuming work. You certainly wont find any of that going on from the locals down there.
Not exactly true. They have stolen culverts out of woods roads, by digging them out of the ground with picks and shovels. I’ve seen it first hand on company roads.
This is true; our landowner told me the same thing. Said they dug up culverts put in by Weyerhauser and sold for scrap. Takes real work ethic( and a bad addiction) to do that for so little. Said they also stole and cut up gates for scrap.
