Used my pick-up today with a trailer from Alex to move the wood drying in the forest to Sechoirs Cowansville, where they will dry the wood to a uniform humidity. Alex was very good about lending us his trailer, and even adapted the brake cables so they could be attached to the pick-up. I was very pleased with the performance of the truck and trailer. My expression and posture here clearly indicates that this Chevy 1500 hauls ass, and that you should not mess with us.
Drying the wood means that it can be planed sanded, and then cut (into boards for flooring, furniture, cabinetry, trim) without danger of the finished wood warping or shrinking. Lisa and I had help in loading and unloading from Don Bissonnette, who likes lending a hand with do-it-yourself projects like this. Here we are unloading planks of cherry in the yard. The Sechoir people will move it with forklifts into the huge driers shown in the background and stack it professionally.
Here, Don and I measures and count the wood. We would like to get it all back in the end, so it helps to count it before you leave it. I believe this is the first load, which consisted of ash and cherry. The ash (whitish colour) will go into steps for staircases, whereas the black cherry (redish color) will likely go into flooring.
