Everything you said makes perfect sense. Takes a long time to take a tree to drying to kiln drawing and then finding someone who wants one slab. When you have eight, let them buy them straight off the tree 😀

Spring hatch of flies seek warmest spots to cling to. So when the sun reflects off white, or is absorbed by black, the flies will gather there.
@rochrich12239 ай бұрын
As a kid we had cluster flies that hibernated between the storm window and the inside window. Yours look like they might be the same. These were not your average houseflies, they were some sort of freaky night crawler parasite. They are attracted to warm places, I expect your truck is the warmest thing within flying distance.

First Nathan, you live in some beautiful country. And I love it when you take us for a drive. Second, you still haven't taken the angle grinder to the Sawmill building to let Mr Kato in right up to the mill, mate work smarter, not harder, especially with those big slabs, too hard on the back. I hope you and your son have a wonderful time together. And as to you sharing your business model, you have it bloody switched on. Even you loose a little money a quick turnover is always better more cash in your pocket. Have fun my friend.

Flies, this time of year like areas that warm up fast, i.e. the vinyl trim on your tailgate and truck bed. They like my deck rail on my back porch. Dark wood, a lot of early morning sun this time of year. Come May though they are not to be seen gathering like that.

We get flies like that due to the chicken house down the road. They started composting the manure outside in concrete bins and the flies are horrible. The nieghbors all Amish dairy farmers complain about it as well. They all have liquid manure tanks and have minimal fly issues from that. Our problem is mountians of dry manure composting 6 months at a time.
