This makes $300 each for shipping and $100/pack. Let me know if you want to be in and arrange payment with me.

This is still very cheap timber. Talking with the yard it sounds like it will be everything we could hope for for the use that we have.

Being 25km out of Melb in the NE burb's look like I have got a long drive for the pickup.

Have you read my post Hingston? Probably about a 1Hr drive.

I wish it was only a 1hr drive but from South morang it is normally takes about 1 3/4hrs drive to Tooraldin. I used to have a boat at Yarringa but sold because I got sick of driving. Anyway...

Still that's not a problem it will still be worth it if the freight is reasonable It is very generous of you to offer your facilitiies.

Is there anyone arranging the freight in Melb ?? Is it Sturdee ??

That sounds about right, a little cheaper than I thought $400 transport per pack, still even at $400 all up per pack is still mighty cheap.
Is that a whole truck loaded or can it carry more... might be worth getting some extra if it doesnt cost more for transport.

Just out of curiousity (and maybe ignorance) is the timber green or dried?

Well I count 6 packs for SA

We got a load!
What sort of time frame are we looking at Studley?

Harry

I've PM'd Tankstand to see if he wants to come on board also. That might cover the bottom of the semi.

How far up the coast is the mill, if its not to far i would consider picking up an 8 tonne load. (i have an 8 tonne crane truck)

I got a guy at work who's a woodie too, I ask him tomorrow see if he wants any.
Surely we can get the transport cost per pack down if we can load a semi fully?

Harry that is a sweet idea. I was told today that 4 packs go really nicely across a truck. Guessing we need 2 packs down the length. Here is where it gets fun a pack is 0.6m and so 5 packs gets you up to 3m which might be thereabouts. This makes 40 packs. This makes up 28.8 tonnes at 720kg per pack. When I knew more about it a semi load was 30 tonnes. All we need is someone to take the other 34 packs. Any idea?

Mind you realistically 8 packs would stack really nicely on the bottom and you can load other stuff like palettes of groceries on top so if we can get it to 8 you never know.

G'day to the South Oz lads, I got Trevs PM.

I'll go for half a pack if someone wants so split one with me.

You get a red stamp on the back of your hand Harry for being good at maths! Tankstand wants to get half a pack so he needs someone else to split one with him. Harry is going to ask one of his mates if he wants to be in it too.

Talking with Trevor last night he asked about getting a bit more on the truck and reducing the cost per pack that way but we do have to put a deadline on this so I will post details tonight.

I do want to speak with everyone and have details from you of whether you want flooring or structural and payment must definitely be upfront. If you are prepared to you can give me credit card numbers and I can put that through my business to make payment easier.

I'll put my hat in the ring for this and will ring them tomorrow and try to find out what is needed.

Have been to busy the last couple of days for doing anything, haven't even been in the workshop. :eek: Never knew how I fitted it all in when I was working fulltime.


Peter.

Is it too late to put in for 1 pack
