[4RE KLR]

Scott,

I have heard the lumber yards here are stacking lumber in climate controlled warehouses. That those are full and they have no idea what they will do with the lumber they are already contracted to purchase.

They apparently have contracts to purchase so much lumber a month / year in order to keep their pricing structure in place. When they don't resale it, they still have to buy it. I suppose for a bit the prices here should drop a little to facilitate the movement of what they already have in stock. I have not seen any such drops yet.

I have heard the are warehouses full of it stored and sitting. How long can they keep up this until it wears them out? At least if it is being burned it is getting used. That would mean you still have a need to cut it and haul it. I feel if they store this here to long, even in controlled rooms, it will be worthless in short order.

I like the fact they are showing the little guy as well. I will almost always use the smaller guys if I can to help them out. They have families as well and if they hold up their product quality I will pay a little more to help them out. I always have.
