Message: [QUOTE="Rooster, post: 326501, member: 19605"] the following is about a home my company did all the carpentry, finish work, cabinetry and door & window hanging in. One of the prominent leaders of my community, who is also very active with the Arbor Society and is also an avid dirtbike hater built a new home. She built it on an acreage which they had to bull-doze the trees down to build the house. It is also (I know, hard to believe) a stick built home, meaning it was built with wood 2 x 6 and 2 x 4 framing. The place has (count them) four fireplaces! What ,you say, do you do with four fireplaces? You burn lots of trees, that's what you do. They have a nice corral for their horses, yep, you guessed it, split rail fence and pole barn. What does she print her flyers on? Oh, dead trees, how silly of me to ask! That nice plaque she was awarded for her efforts in the tri-county area, oh yeah, that's made of wood too. The furniture they moved in for the bedrooms and dining room.....uh, huh, solid oak. You should see the stinking oak mantles above those fireplaces too! I've seen smaller telephone poles. The trimwork throughout is solid oak. The doors are either solid or hollow core oak. It's endless. Save the trees? I can tell you this, there is a small forest in that house alone, and how many more of these tree huggers live in homes made of wood? I'd be willing to bet it's pretty close to 99.99% How many trees have I actually killed with my dirtbike? None. I could have built my entire house and garage with the lumber it took to build one wing of that house. Trust me, I did the take offs for the lumber list. [/QUOTE]
