It is true that this is something that you don’t quite hear enough about. My husband has been wanting to try building a few things for a while, but we hadn’t worked out the materials yet. With your information, I feel confident that I can approach a lumberyard and actually have a pretty good idea of what I should do. Thank you! https://adamslumber.com/products/

I forced my father to come with me to my first lumber yard and I still am not sure if I’m confident enough to go to another…and I NEED some nice walnut. Thanks for the constant inspiration!

At the stoneyard, stone is sold by weight. So you drive you truck onto a giant scale to weigh it empty, fill your truck with your stone of choice, then weigh it again when it’s full. (You can also get it delivered, if you’re ordering a lot.) You cannot drive your “half-ton pickup” onto the scale full of rock and assume that the filled-up truck minus 1/2 ton equals the weight of your stone; you must weigh before and after. Of course, I do not have a truck, but drove my Subaru Outback onto the scale, loaded it with 12 landscape stones, had no idea how much it was going to cost, weighed my vehicle with the rock, and paid only $17 including tax. I thought this was a sweet deal! I knew how much the stone cost per ton, but I overestimated how much each rock weighed. I need to go back for more, but now that I know what I’m doing it won’t be such a big deal. Good for you for getting over the intimidating process!

The wood you used for that headboard is beautiful! Totally worth it! Bravo!

Strange request…could you share the font you used for “Buying Wood…” I’m kinda a typography nerd.
