I had a big 60 year old Tulip Poplar down behind
my house on Clear creek that was about 30” at the
butt.
Kids and Grand kids been after me to cut it into
lumber and make some more tables and benches etc
like I've made before from pine, White Oak , and
Water oak etc.
So I cut it down and contacted the saw miller that
usually does my sawing since I don't have a mill
myself anymore. He was tied up for a couple of
months so I asked around and found another man who
said he would saw them up sooner and let me know
when I could come pick up the lumber. The three
logs made up about 1500 board feet.
After waiting for over two months to hear from
them and trying to contact them several times I
finally got the miller to answer. He told me that
he had sawed the lumber weeks or months ago and I
never came to claim them so the owner of the saw
mill who is a lawyer in the next city over and
owns a large tract of land in Talladega county
just took the lumber himself and encorporated it
into one of his buildings at his place on the
creek.
I was just completely stunned I have tried to get
them to at least pay me for the logs that they
took but as of yet have had no success.
Anybody give me some good advice as to what legal
avenue I can take to get some sort of pay for my
lots or maybe even criminal charges against
them????
I feel like I have been robbed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
