Nice show.

cool vid, I was looking for a good lumber supplier in the Boston, MA area … and just got the word on D&R a week ago, nice to see what it looks like before heading down there.

That is what I need to find in SE Indiana or Cincinnatti. A good lumber yard will sure make life a lot easier.

In Seattle to great places to go are Compton’s or Crosscut they are both downtown. Just about 1 mile south of Safeco Field
