Loading Your Vehicle – Buyer is responsible for loading and transportation. We will have people available for moving boards, pulling boards from piles, and help loading boards onto your vehicle.

Safety – We do not want anyone getting hurt. Do not move boards on stacks by yourself. Stacks of boards can be unstable. Ask for help.  Watch for tripping hazards. There are a number of sleeper boards on garage, woodshop floor and basement floor.  Watch your feet – dropping boards can cause injury.  Large wide boards are strong, but treat them gently. Dropping these boards can cause splits, especially wide 5/4s boards.
