Timber so costly

Tweet

All my friends know we are renovating a portion of our house, when we dismantled this portion built in 1890, we could get wooden beams that were used in the ceilings; they are so strong and hard, iron nails can be driven into them with much effort; so hubby took them to a saw mill and got them sawed; several saw blades broke. But that is not enough for the new set of doors, windows and their frames. Today he went to buy timber here that can be sawed; nowhere dry logs are available; he could contact 2 traders who cut logs illegally from forests, well they bribe the guards and officials, all here know that very well. The price for dry ‘sal-wood’ is 2500 rupees to 5000 per cubic feet depending upon its thickness plus transporting charges of 500 rupees. This has to be sawed in a saw mill again. There are cheap woods, not so dry woods but not advisable at all. [b]What is the cost at your place, what kind of wood you use, do you get that easily? Please comment and share your valued opinion.[/b] Sorry, I am no more regular here because of my and hubby Professor’s health issues. Please bear with me, if I get time I will visit mylot.
