Well sometimes ya just get damn lucky.
Posted less than an hour and located almost in walking distance of work was 400+ feet of 6" vee grove 1x6 car siding.
Got it at 40 cents a foot maybe a little less as he tossed on some short pieces as extra.
The kicker............................wait for it ................................ It had been removed from a 1909 Nickle Plate railroad box car !!!
What are the odds ?? He even had the unit number plack off of it. It seems this ol boy disassembles and reclaims barns, old buildings, and what ever else he finds. The story he got from the farmer was that the 1918 barn was built over the decommissioned box car that had been being utilized for storage. He was recycling all the barn members and when he got to the boxcar he salvaged all the siding. It is in fantastic shape for 100 year old lumber.
