Back in the mid 90s I owned a building and the City of Minneapolis wanted the lot (lots) that it was on. They made me an offer I couldn't refuse so I sold it but I retained the salvage rights to it. Part of the building had burned back in the late 50s or early 60s and the then owners had rebuilt it. It was all done with Doug Fir. So I hired a kid to help and spent a week salvaging the lumber out of it. I pulled about 60 sticks of 2X10 X13' and about 80 sticks of 2x10x18' plus hundreds of 2x6 x12' and lots and lots of 1x8 in random lengths. All DF. There was two 2 ton truckloads of lumber that I saved. I used that lumber for everything over the years, built a garage, reroofed a big porch, sistered a lot of sagging floor joists, concrete forms, etc. 3 years ago when I was building the addition on this house I was using the last of the 2x10s and the building inspector stopped me. You can't use used lumber here... I told him to look it over closely at it as it was all Doug Fir - end stamped and graded. He looked it over and said man, that's some nice stuff. Let's just say it was left over from another job - and he let me use it. I still have about 100' of the 1x8s left but the rest is all gone.

She smoked terribly and never had much power but he couldn't afford another so he was limping along with what he had. Jon's Allis has a small front loader and though it doesn't carry much, it serves his needs. It was the hard starting and low power that made him think it was time to replace the old girl. Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start
