I thought I saw somewhere in here where you bought an old tractor. Speaking of ash lumber, I have a friend up in Georgia that saws lumber, mostly cedar and cypress that cut up some ash about 20 something years ago and gave it to a friend who stored in his corn crib. The guy call Billy a couple of years ago and asked him if he wanted some ash. Billy went over there and it was the same material he had given the guy years ago, in perfect shape. Billy loaded it up and hauled it back to his shop where he has it stacked up to make furniture.
