We will see what the new year brings. I will still need to get at lease 50 4x4x8 PT and 75 2x6x16 PT for repair and new wood fence. I can put part of it off till summer, if I think prices are going down and I still have the money. I don't heat with wood, but could do some if I have to. I think I will plan on a bigger garden. Tomatoes and butter beans sounds good to me. The place I work is into heavy equipment, timber and coal. My job will be fine, I think for the next two years. After that, I will see, but I could retire with everything paid for. I am not sure what lumber will do, but the land owner and the loggers are not getting any more for their timber or work.
And for all the tree lovers, my boss replants almost everything that he cuts. All coal fields must be reclaimed back to where they were before. Filled back in and replanted(mostly with trees). There are even rules as to how many times you can use the same path to pull trees out. I still fine that most land owner want to save the land.
I would still like to know who is making all the money on lumber.
