Today, I took a quick trip down to the R & R Sawmill in California, Missouri in hopes of finding a good material source for posts and beams. Also, we are wanting to use a local Eastern Red Cedar for the exterior siding on our house. This stained cedar siding will sit atop a stone ledge that rings the base of our house.
Brad,
ReplyDeleteHow did the prices look on the 6x6 or 8x8 posts?

Hey Rich,
ReplyDeleteA 6"x6" (by 12 feet tall) post would be $23.40. His cost for 12 feet long is about 65 cents per board foot. Posts or Beams 16 feet in length would be 75 cents per board foot. The price is great, but bear in mind the lumber is green and needs time (up to a year)to air dry. Call me if you have any other questions.
