Last job for Lefty

Re: Last job for Lefty
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it weighs too much for your truck. Or, at the very least, it's a bit too long for your truck... By about 8 ft. A red flag on the end of that won't mean much.

Re: Last job for Lefty
Wonder if Chevy ever offered an extra long bed, like a 16 footer?
Gotta get a bigger bed...

Re: Last job for Lefty
When I put an addition (650 sq ft) on my previous house, the yard wanted a couple hundred bucks to deliver. So I used my FIL's (now my) truck and rented a car hauler. 42 2X6s, enough 2X4 studs to run 90 linear feet, plus partitions, a bunch of 4X6s for girders under the floor joists and 38 10-foot 2X4s for the rafters. That was probably as much as a car, by weight. Sad part is I had to load and unload it. I was one tired boy that day. 125 feet from the street to the back of the lot where I piled the lumber.

Re: Last job for Lefty
Steve, I'd have backed up to the site.
KCSA, yes. This one is smaller, only a 9x14 with one set of steps. For my sister I built a 14x34 with 2 sets of steps. And a 12x10 shed. Her neighbor saw the deck and wanted one also. Sister is gearing up for a garage in ththe spring. I am not worried, nephew who bought the truck is coming to live in my house. I'll include the use of his truck in the agreement

Re: Last job for Lefty
Doesn't look like "too much weight". I've have a ton and a half of stone in mine an I barely squatted enough to sit on the helper springs. Use but don't abuse is what I say. It's not a car.

Re: Last job for Lefty
If you figure board footage say 2x6x10 is about 10 board ft. X 3 lbs. Board ft. For dry timber. Be about 30 lbs. You can figure the weight that way. Lots of math but it works.
