Doesn't sound right to me, but hey, that is less work if that truly is the case.

What yard are you using?

Its a small yard in Middleport. I grew up with the owner. She inherited it from her father. My location says Rochester but I'm actually about 35 miles West.

FYI - I called Weitsman one day and asked about low grade boards. They told me $0.01 per pound, LOL
