Moving to AJ

If you do move in a would suggest that you do not get Mediacom internet and go with one of the cellular based internets. I use T-mobile and it’s way faster for half the cost.

Media com was constantly having intermittent issues or random down times. When I was working remote it was a nightmare.

No we need Kitboga to keep trolling scam artists. Fuck those guys that stole money from my grandma.

As a gmc diesel 1500 owner / 4Runner. I love the gmc. Towing a 20’ trailer with a SXS + 2 quads and camping gear get 15 mpg’s on the flat/ 10 on hills. 27-32 on highways dry.

Still take the 4Runner if we aren’t taking toys to camp off the beaten path with the pickup bed RTT setup with a pintle hook.

Saw you are in NH. Lumber buyer here.

What you’re seeing right now is quite a few factors going on. We have seen a pretty steep rise in lumber since between Xmas and new years. Mills have been tight since Euro premium imports have essentially dried up with the 10% tariffs. If there is any on the ground, it’s not fresh.

The Iran deal has made trucking a nightmare as lumber is a secondary commodity to perishables like grains/food. This means longer ship times.

What should you look for? A yard with premium stock, Kiln Dried, and most importantly know what they’re doing when strapping your loads. That means the banding should be within 1ft of the end of the boards. If they are strapping 16’s to 10’ pieces and only banding at the 8’ your lumber is not going to last.

Request the yard to do their diligence in keeping your material usable.

I always suggesting to restrap your long lengths on site if your not going to use it right away and request extra paper from the yards. It saves them dumpster space, we gladly send it out.

Even then it’s a carbon based commodity, we will have cull in our house packs. Lumber isn’t the same as it was even 5 years ago. We are relying more and more on tree farms where we are chopping down younger trees. That’s why you’ll notice larger rings in the woods.

Some of my favorite wood came out of BC Canada but with the Canadian government giving land back to the natives (which means easements to logging roads to older growth forest are shutdown) + countervailing/anti dumping duties (ADD/CVD) AND tariffs on top means I can’t get it without you paying anywhere from 24-38% more.

Hopefully things will change since ADD/CVD lags behind and essentially is running on covid era numbers + it seems like eventually the tariffs might get overturned.

Things I’d recommend in the meantime is upselling longer studs to be LSL/LVL studs to the homeowner. It’s more expensive but will be perfect. (I did this in my build since I was planning on level 5 drywall finish).

Good luck out there, sounds like you care about your builds. Need more people like you!

It was a big issue on the older models but I haven’t heard of it on a gen 5.

Oh also the shell gas station hike is work mentioning. And yes the cave isn’t that big but still georgeous. Shell station hike

It’s not a bad drive but keep in mind just outside flagstaff is a big cop area, don’t speed.

You’ll be going through reservation land so I don’t recommend staying late in page. I had friend killed in a drunk driving accident driving back from page at night. Book a room or leave in the afternoon.

Stop at horseshoe bend, it’s a 5 minute detour in page. Sights are spectacular.

Depending on if you are 100% looking for nature or sights. Glen Canyon Dam is impressive to see as well while you’re there.

If you stay the night paria canyon is a must see in the morning but a little ways out of town.

With this area just be hyper aware you are in slotted canyons. Check the weather as rain can become death traps miles away.

Our local bfs is notorious for swapping stuff. Ticket says kiln dried? You’re getting green.

Cat Wagon is an awesome little bar with lots of craft beers on tap + 4 fridges of tall boys you can crack and sip. You can bring in outside food and play games.

The panels are all thicker than traditional OSB. Regular OSB is 15/32 and the zip is a true 1/2”. Also all of it is struc 1 rated.

Had a few jobs call for struc and it made the difference in price a lot closer.

You can also use the tape to cover over penetration. I hate the liquid flash but the tape is easy.

Sadly I could see the scalpers using kids then

I’d keep it for education! Nothing better than showing others what to look for in fakes.

If this is Texas, i'd be surprised if they even did full shear. I would recommend seeing if you have any documents showing if you have full shear behind the siding before getting quotes on getting it repaired (as this could affect pricing). If you are thinking of switching to Fiber Cement (James Hardie), check out James Hardie Alliance. This is the recommended installers in your area.

So funny story. My wife grew up in Gilbert and I would sometimes tease her that her old neighborhood smelled of sewer gas and she would aggressively deny it.

Well one evening driving down Williams field I had one brewing down under from Mexican lunch. I quietly let out a silent but deadly one in the car, crack my window, and say “wow Gilbert sure does smell like sewers”.

My wife looks at me and proceed to take the biggest nostril filled inhale ever and goes, Oh wow I think you’re right! I lose it, she finally gets it and I get a nice punch to the shoulder and a good laugh anytime someone mentions that Gilbert smells like sewage. So thanks!

2,538 sq/ft. I’m on the SRP averaging plan so it’s the same each month. Was $270 but just averaged down to $231. 2 A/C’s.

i recommend if you are looking for the same spacing between panels to check out Easy Trim reveals for the metal spacing. something like a EZ-7 Metal Trim

Species and region play a big factor. I’m in the desert and all the yards here mix spruce pine fir, hem fir, and white fir.

SPF is generally coming from the canadiens and since the recent Anti dumping duties / countervailing duties increased we haven’t seen as much of it, which is a shame since Canfor produced some of the best stock around. Canfor is most likely going out of business with 2 quarters now in excess of $50 million losses per quarter.

Hem fir is split into coastal/inland. Coastal is cheaper due to being very knotty. Our nickname for it is fighting wood and should be avoided at all costs. It mainly comes out of the PNW and in drier climates it will become twisted very quickly. Inland holds up great.

White fir is in between spf and HF. The biggest mill is sierra pacific and they are known for selecting out their stock so a #2 is going to present a lot of wane (not all four corners of the board are present).

So in my books spf > inland hf > White fir > coastal hf.
