Planning wood @ Parents

This weekend I went home to help my family with some work around the house. Among fixing my grandmother’s computer I also helped my dad plane some wood for the overhangs of the new roof we will have done to replace the old house roof. The boards were 15-20 feet long X 18 inches wide X 2 inches thick. It was nice to do something with my hands for once that didn’t involve a compter! HAHA – My mom was nice enough to take a photo of me doing something for once! 😛

Boeing Plant Camouflaged

Boeing Plant Camouflaged

South of downtown Seattle is an old Boeing airplane assembly plant that produced nearly 7000 Flying Fortresses while hidden beneath a roof with a fake suburban neighborhood on top. The site is now the source for a huge lumber salvage operation – Duluth Timber Company is now deconstructing the 1.7 million square foot facility and reclaiming the lumber for real homes. The beauty of reclaimed lumber is not just in its quality and size but in its history – and the ¼ million board feet that will come out of this deconstruction has a lot of tales to tell.
