A year and 6 days ago you posted very similar

mild rant snipped



Some people are slow learners - I didn't want to post again until I
learned how to spell.
- it's the same wood - there was no rush to get rid of it -besides,
nobody has had the time to tear down the tanks (it's not an easy job).
It would be a lot faster and easier to go in with a back hoe and a
bulldozer, but since he wasn't in urgent need of the space... He wanted
to try to sell off most of the tanks.

From what you wrote last year it sounds like sweet wood and my purpose
was not really to flame you. Hasn't anything happened with this wood in
the last year? Perhaps you could have just prefaced this with something
like: "hey remember this stuff I was talking about last year? Well it's
still available." etc... Perhaps post a pic somewhere, a testimonial
from a satisfied buyer, something. If the first announcement goes nowhere
why go at it again a year later with exactly the same pitch? Also I
should have put a smiley after the spelling crack.

Your right! -Thanks for the tips - and yes I forgot the smiley face ;-)
I honestly thought nobody would remember the post from last year - I'm
really surprised, but that's just me and I have trouble remembering what
I had for last nights' dinner ;-)
I'll try to get some pics posted (that's a very good pointer!)
The owner initially tried to sell the entire lot at once, (for reasons I
won't go into), but the wood dealers would not offer enough to cover
dismantling of the tanks (it's a difficult and can be a dangerous job
without the right precautions). A couple tanks have been removed and
are in the process of becoming kitchen cabinets, a deck and (I hope) in
the near future a couple of stripper canoes.

Thanks for the pointers!
Gregg
PS
I didn't take your post as a flame - this is a really nice news group!
I typically go to Sci Chem - That group can thicken anybody's skin - to
the point of being tougher than elephant hide!!
