Hi guys, anyone knows where to get the best prices for roofing timber? I need about 12,000 feet. The best quote am getting so far is 4*2= 34, 3*2=24, 2*2=15 10*1=68. Thanks in advance. As long as you're going to be thinking anyway, think big

Thanks in advance. Where are you based? Pine, cypress or? The qoute you have is actually good for pine around Nairobi area. Make sure there will be no 'Monkey business'by those selling to you, especially while you are counting/tallying. ....He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion..
