How about making lumber aid(Lemons-lemon aid)

I can see it being well worth your time and effort to get as much of it milled as possible.

Hey Jon, Havent heard from you in a while. A little history lesson: Back in 1938 New England was devastated by a hurricane and due to the massive deforestation at the time, the timber that was remaining had little shelter and was wiped out. The US government purchased the lumber as a natural resource. For more information see:

Salvage programs following the 1968 hurricane

Hope it gives you some ideas.

Now if only you could get it to Haiti for the rebuild process…..

Love your wifes idea! Oh if only this were a prefect world.
Wish I could help out in some way – help me and you and any others that could find excellent uses for the timber.

where in missouri are you? I don’t remember anything like that…just the ice storm of ‘09 and the tornado a few years ago.

About 90 mi south of St. Louis- the damage was really intense south of Fredericktown. I think our worst ice storm (at least in this area) was in around ‘06? we lost a lot of good timber then too, but nothing like the wind storm.

I see you’re from the bootheel…Howdy neighbor! I used to work in Malden at Falcon Communications.

Hi Tim,

Good to hear from you too! thanks for the info, I’ll check it all out…There has to be SOMETHING that can be done with this stuff. If nothing else, I wonder if they could sink a bunch of it underwater until it can be used. We have quite a few old mining lakes in the area…
