Free lumber. Sort of.

Oh, it's free, but some might not call it lumber. I mean it's actual WOOD,

I wonder who did the heat treating. If the Chinese did it with the
same care they show towards heavy metals in dinnerware and toys, I'd
expect free longhorn beetles with every purchase.

Keep the wood, sell the beetles as pets for Easter. Maybe include a little
EGP chain :)

Got an email back from the lumber wrangler. The timbers are gone, but he
still has oodles of 4x4s and, of course, the chips.

I was mainly interested in the 4x4s as fireplace wood anyway. For free, it's
worth the experiment.

What can one do with a few thousand cubic feet of wood chips? I don't think
they work for mulch - any other ideas?

I would hire a crew which were sons of yours, then they would be a chip off
the old block and I could feed them the wood chips also available for free

Typo. Much should be mulch. I don't want bugs spread around the house.
Burning is best use.

It's that trade imbalance thing. They don't even want the shipping
containers back. A local sailboat rigging guy, the one I just got my
Emmert vise from, is moving his shop over into containers just bought
a 45' extra tall container in fine condition for $2500 delivered.

Kind of surprising that it is no profitable to ship back to china, as is

Surprised generator of them didn't find an outlet -- altho there may be
no close-enough chipboard or other user to make transport economic.

If not of a toxic or otherwise nasty variety, some use them as
bedding/stall material in animal barns, etc. If it's an uncontrolled
anything goes source, though, that's probably out as an alternative.

There are some solid fuel boilers that can use them. I'd not use them for
much in case of bugs.
