Returning lumber

I thought that you guys might get a kick out of the car that I saw this evening hauling a 2 X 6. He turned off at Home Depot. I wonder if he also hauled it home this way when he purchased it.

I'm sure he did or he wouldn't have known this would work. I'm just glad I wasn't stsnding there waitin for a bus.....
Do you suppose it was that important to return it. Well, times are hard...
 
(quoted from post at 20:38:19 03/25/10) What was he returning for, being too long or too short? Dave

Bubba went to the sawmill to get a 2x4. Guy said "how long you want it"
Bubba scratched his head and said "I spose for a long time, gonna build a house out of it"
 
Ole is nailing siding on a house. As he takes nails out of his apron, some he uses, some he throws on the ground. Sven asks him vy he is trowing away so many nails, Ole says da point vas on da wrong end on dose. Sven says don't trow dem avay, dem iss for da udder side of da building.
 
Guy sees his neighbour's house burning down. His neighbour is dancing around on the lawn laughing like mad.
"What are you doing? Your house is burning!"
"No sweat! There's enough lumber in the attic to build another house!"
 
Reminds me when I was a kid and lived in a suburban neighborhood. Dad never had a truck so a trip to the lumber yard involved me holding the lumber through the open window. Always gave me a hard time about keeping it away from the car so finish was not scratched. Some of those trips were pretty cold during the Wisconsin winters. At least we kept the load parallel to the travel lane.
 
Dave,

I've been using that line so long at my local Ace Hardware that the old-timers working there always send the "newbies" to help me.

I needed some trim for a project, so i took my 6-foot bed Ranger pickup to HD.
Got there, found how long the trim was, and didn't want to cut it. So, i bought the trim, as much as i needed, and also bought a 12' long 2x4, and a roll of masking tape. I took it all out to the truck, opened the sliding back window, and stuffed everything thru the opening, then placed it diagonally across the end gate. I have one of those red flags on a handle, so i taped it onto the bundle, and made my way homeward. No problems, only stuck out about 4 foot or so. But, i was hoping nobody got behind me with bad brakes! The tape, i used it to keep the trim pieces on the board, and then used the board and tape later for other things.
 
About 25 years ago I had a nice size load of that slippery on one side 4' x 8' OSB loaded on my pickup plus some rolls of insulation and other stuff on top of it. I stopped for a red light at a four lane intersection. When the light turned green I proceeded to scatter the whole load on the road in about a fifty foot string.
 
Crem,
I did the same thing when I used a Ford Ranger with plastic bed liner to pick up a load of 3/4" Oak hardwood flooring for my kitchen. Turned the corner onto a Main road and some of the bundles slid out, broke open and many pieces ended up in the gutter along the curb IN THE MUD. Got home and spent half a day washing/cleaning the mud off the pieces. Did I mention that MUD stains an Oak board pretty good? :oops:

Anyway, bleach cleaned up some and the ones that were the worst ended up under the fridge, dishwasher and in the closet. Actually ended up not having to discard any pieces. Sometimes recovery from a screwup can be very satisfying. :)
