Wood Bandits
False advertising

Named Tod at his company telephone # of 360-489-7148 answering his advertisement on CraigsList entitled "six-yard dump-truck of lumber - $200 (olympia) dated 2012 09-02-7:47AM PDT

After I spoke with Tod about the telephone I questioned him if his timber he's promoting is dried and experienced. He assured me his timber may be the absolutely dried. I decided to have him provide lots of his timber. While he came I questioned him to get a random test bit of timber to ensure that I really could test drive it for water content. He explained to my 15-yr old boyis encounter and quarry that his timber is extremely dry. It's not moist lumber. The standard for "dried" timber isn't any over 20% water content.

I split-open the bit of timber and place a humidity meter to it also it called completely to 35%. It maxed out the humidity meter. I showed him the meter-reading and he instantly got noticeably annoyed and stated "which means you do not need the timber!" I mentioned I'd requested for dried wood, not moist wood. He proceed so angry he could not get free from there quickly enough. I experienced only a little harmful to him and created a "really reasonable" present of: if he got only $20.00 off the buying price of the strain, I'd still go. He explained "no", acquired the bits of of the main one bit of split examined timber, actually the small bitty bits of it put it in his vehicle and sped down. I really believe my offer of $20.00 off was a far more than reasonable present. Our boy mentioned it ought to be $50.00 down, but I experienced only a little harmful to him because he worked to fill all of the timber, and that I can use the wood for that winter following this one, perhaps faster easily could easily get it dried by correct storage under a top, etc.

Our 15-year old boy was there and observed everything. Great training for him to determine a company guy upright get captured in his rest to some client. Tod of Timber Bandits in Olympia/Lacey, California lied about his timber being dried. Perhaps he does not actually understand how to calculate it the right way. He simply went right into a client that understood better and he got captured having a weight of moist wood, attempting to sell it in a advanced "dried/experienced wood" cost. He also appeared to have a significant mood. Got really angry when he noticed we'd a humidity meter and also the timber examined out to become not what he promoted and believed to out encounters. Was this a rest or simply a bandit downright lying and attempting to sell moist timber at dry-wood costs?

Before he came together with his wood, I examined my humidity meter about the wood I actually do have (separate the wood, and place humidity meter about the center of it). On a single bunch that I've had under-cover and piled freely therefore atmosphere could possibly get throughout it (slice and separate in- May) my moisture meter authorized 22% humidity. Another bunch of timber I'd I divided in July and place the humidity about the center of the separate item was 35%, not dried yet. Therefore my humidity meter was just about adjusted by screening various bits of wood-cut and various occasions, and so I understand the meter was operating properly.

I'd have already been happy to check more of his timber to obtain a greater random sample, but he was also angry and simply wished to get free from there as quickly as he might.
