Winnipesaukee Lumber
I heard through the grape vine from a VERY GOOD source that the lumber yard has been sold. Good or Bad news? the place has major problems.

Winni lumber has always been a huge help with every single task I’ve had. They always have what you need and if they don’t they can always order it in a timely manner. Great products and staff.

That is because they don't own it, Time Traveler.

His/her last post was to wait for it to be posted on the new owners website, not that it had been sold.

Not sure what original posters agenda is but certainly up to no good. I have been a customer for years. Always happy. Maybe they will sell someday and if they do I hope they make a bundle. I have sold several small businesses over the years. Selling does not mean you are in trouble.

The prices are only high on dimensional lumber because it is all doug fir. Nobody else carries only fir, the others all carry spruce. Fir is higher priced but has less waste. It is stronger, straighter and more stable. However, if you compare other products, apples to apples, their price are not high.

It's not cryptic to some of us.

I bought lumber at Winnipesaukee Lumber exactly once - when we first moved here.
I needed some 4x8 sheets of 5/8" A/C plywood, ripped to 2x8. They didn't have a proper saw for doing this, but was told that if I sought out (???) in the back and asked him really nicely he might cut it for me. He cut it with a small skill saw. The cuts weren't straight. The plywood had more filler in it (both sides) that I've ever seen in plywood, before or since. The process seemed to take forever and I ended up feeling obliged to give him a healthy gratuity. He did spend a lot of time on this and it wasn't his fault that the lumberyard lacked a basic piece of lumber yard equipment to do the job properly. I really don't like posting negative comments, but people come to this site looking for honest information and, from my perspective, this thread seems to have turned into a bit of a love-fest. |

It's a lumberyard. It sells lumber, it doesn't employ carpenters to cut the wood it sells. The majority of the customers are contractors or skilled and the service is rarely needed. I would have no idea why the plywood didn't look good to you. Maybe you got a bad piece?

This thread isn't going to turn out very well if it is allowed to continue.
Just my opinion anyway.

I don't own a pick up truck for hauling plywood. But I do own a Milwaukee 18 volt cordless circular saw. Everybody should own one. Great for cutting your own wood in the parking lot. Just add tape and square.

Way back on the left, at the back of the lumber area, the Lowe's in Gilford has a wall mounted circle saw that accurately cuts up a 4x8' plywood sheet, and you get two free cuts per sheet.
Plus, there's usually free coffee up front of the lumber area. For really good free k-cup coffee, go to the nearby Meredith Village Savings at Lowe's ...... is worth a stop ..... just for the coffee. Just walk in the bank and act like you own it ...... say something like ...... got any left-over donuts today?

Winnipesaukee Lumber sells Artificial Wood...
Quote:
Moss (discussed here previously) has caused moisture and rot on one 8" wide facia (vertical roof edge) board—which is about 20 feet above the ground. Because of localized dampness (huge tree) would anyone suggest replacing the facia with artificial lumber? Likely, scaffolding would be required, what contractor in the Wolfeboro area would take this job? |

I love using Azek for facia board. So much more durable and weather resistant and you can’t tell the difference once painted. Sent from my iPhone using Winnipesaukee Forum mobile app |

You can also use pressure treated boards but you have to let them dry out a month or two before you stain or paint them. I just bought 1" x 8" this past summer and stained it after about a month with a solid oil based Olympic stain. Somehow painting Azek defeats the purpose of using plastic. Once you paint it, it's no longer maintenance free, JMO.

You can use Azek. It is wonderful to have the maintenance free. There is also a new product called Boral that is made from coal ash that is easily paintable and has the same properties as Azek and it's a little less money. Any local contractor capable of doing the wood can do these products.

The house I bought 5 years ago has barn board siding. Because of the snow sliding off the metal roof and piling up against the house the siding was rotted two feet up in the front and the back of the house. I didn't want to reside the whole house and I didn't want plastic siding because of rustic feel of the house. So I put 2-1/2 foot board and baton wainscoting, made from pressure treated wood, on the bottom of the house. I let it dry out and after about a month I stained it with an solid oil base stain. I know it will not rot but now my only question is how long before I have to stain it again. Only time will tell. Now I have to stain the rest of the house.
