new load today

[Frank Pender - AKA "Tail Gunner"]

I just finished loading another charge of Douglas Fir flooring stock into the kiln. this morning.  This and the previous load are for a student I had my first year of teaching, in the school year of '68/'69.  I will have one more charg in a week.  I checked the moisture this morning with my Delmhorst and it was air dried down to 14% upon closing the doors.  I figure about 5 or 7 days.  I have another series of chargs to follow for a 2 1/2 million dollar home in the Central Oregan region.  That series of loads are again Douglas Fir Flooring material, window and door trim as well as mop board. 

What a great business.  Only in America!

Hey Frank, if you need any 2" CVG fir let me know.  I've got 4" and 6" full sawn looking for a home.

[Frank Pender - AKA "Tail Gunner"]

How much have you got and what are the lengths. please?

Might be interested in some for some doors.

[Stevem]

I've got somewhere around 500 feet. 3",4",5" (just a little) and mostly 6" lenghts from 8' to 12'.  I'll even skip plan it for you.

[Buzz Sawyer]

Hey cowboy !
 is that some of the flooring we all ran through the logosol??? Or is that long gone?

[Frank Pender - AKA "Tail Gunner"]

Buzz, what we ran is all gone and layed down in the house for which it was run.  I was just at the house yesterday to show it off to a man who is moving out here from Michigan to build a new home.  I will be making some of the same kind and size of flooring, from his Douglas Fir, for his new home.

That which I just ran is for a student I had my first year of teaching and his just picked up the first of three runs to be made.

[Frank Pender - AKA "Tail Gunner"]

The last of the students flooring will be out this weekend and I will run it through the Logosol.

The next runs are for a $2,500,000 home on a new gold course in Bend, Oregon.  The specks called or knot ladened Douglas Fir flooring, window and door trim as well as mop boards.  I will take a couple months to run all of that lumber for sure.  The house is about 4,500 square feet, perhaps more.  I am still out about 8 or 10 months for drying.  Only in America.

The first of the flooring and trim for a 2 1/2 million dollar home is in the kiln, this morning.

[Kirk Allen]

Our load of heat pine flooring made its way back north this week and I may have a chance to by the Logosal he is using to make the flooring when he is done. 

[Frank Pender - AKA "Tail Gunner"]

You will not be sorry, Kirk.  I wish you luck on the purchase.

[Frank Pender - AKA "Tail Gunner"]

If you will have a chance at the Logosol, you might make sure to get the three phase electical system unit.  They seem to have just that much more umph even with a converter.

[Kirk Allen]

The unit he has is single phase but I would think it could be upgraded by swapping out the motors. 

[Frank Pender - AKA "Tail Gunner"]

I am no expert on such things as swaping motors, but I would seem that I would not be cost effective to swith the motors, unless you have a luck golden horseshoe, some place.
