Emerald, it would be interesting if you and Jade could travel down to the factory and see what they do with the boards you've sawn, how they turn your planks into floors.
A whole series form forest to installed floor would make an excellent play list. That could be very educational for most of America's children that have no idea how the everyday products around them come into being. Food, clothes, housing, machines, devices most people have no idea how they get there because far too many people in the US add no value to anything for a living. Might even get some sort of award.
When you help your father and his business you are showing others how a family can be successful if they all work for a common goal. Cheers you guys well done.
It must be very gratifying to see all your hard work being shipped out for others to enjoy. When you see a floor somewhere think maybe you had a big hand in it's being there. That was great everyone thank you.👍♥️♥️
Em, I looked up Storybook and they are fantastic! I’m glad to see you delivering the raw material to the flooring company. It would be nice to see, after the kiln how they mill the flooring! I hope your weekend clears up a little!
Titusville PA............home of the Drake oil well museum. First commercially sucessful oil well drilled in the U.S. and changed the world forever. Ken did just fine loading that truck. The key to doing that is stay low and slow and no fast moves. Loaded and unloaded lumber and building material trucks for many years. Take care and God bless.👍🇺🇸
The lift has a max load rating on a name plate on the machine. The name plate will specify a max load for 24" out on the forks. These loads have a 24" center of gravity, so no adjustment to the max load number is necessary.
@@twistedhillbilly6157it’s the problem with text versus human interaction. My intention was to imply to see the actual lumber as installed finished flooring in a home or building.
@@56Spookdog To REPEAT: All I can do is interpret your words based on my knowledge of the English Language.. If you google STORYBOOK FLOORS, there are many pictures' of ACTUAL FLOORS made with ACTUAL LUMBER! You are speaking in riddles and making no sense at all.. There is none so blind as he who will not see
That little Deere is a sweet machine.. I've been certified in Forklifts and Grade-all's,, that's kinda an in between.. The boss looks like he knows what he is doing...
I live just 35 miles north of Titusville, in Warren. Nice to hear a mention from my neck of the woods. Most of the north half of Pa. Is great forest area for timber harvest.
For most of my life I have had experience in forklift operations. Your dad did an exemplary job moving the lumber from the ground to the flatbed trailer!
This channel has really become the main wealth of knowledge on all things lumber out there. I hope Emerald is fully fulfilled to do with all her goals about having a TH-cam channel
Isn't that a great feeling when you have worked hard for an order and the product can then be handed over to the customer? This satisfaction is usually only experienced in the handicrafts and value creation of a country. 💪
I just had a short visit on story book homepage and it's hardly to describe how wonderful the high end product of all your hard work is. congratulations! (excuse my bad english) with many greetings
Is that a pyramid in the back ground!! How cool is that,let's go explore that place and make videos of it. What beautiful property you have in the area. What could be inside of that mountain? Just think of it. Later Devo.
Until my military injury finally kept me from working, I did home inspections for the insurance industry. I've seen McMansions in the suburbs, beautiful remote vacation homes deep in the Appalachians, 150 year old farm houses and even a former grain mill that was originally laid down before the start of the Civil War. In all of those my favorite flooring has been the hardwood flooring. If you take care of it, it can be a beautiful home floor adding warmth and a sense of legacy for your great, great grandchildren. Even when abused, it can stand up to a century of use. For your home, an office space or any building that's not going to have machines rolling around on it, nothing beats a hardwood floor.
I really love the instrumental accompaniments you use for your videos. Something soothing about it and makes me feel like its echoing down the hills behind you.
Great camera work. Thanks for another informative video. Look after your hands in cold weather like that. The years stack up and the cold takes its toll.
I was slightly skeptical when Emerald said that the bundles of white oak boards could weigh like 6000 pounds, but, on calculation, some of those stacks look like they must contain more than 110 cubic feet or 3 cubic meters and even more. Green white oak can weigh about 60 lbs a cubic foot or 1000kg a cubic meter when green/unseasoned, and so ... yeah ... more than 6000 lbs, that is clearly possible if the white oak still has a high moisture content.
Hi Emerald from Sydney Australia. That is a serious job: well packed and loaded onto the trailer. Im only "thinking out loud" what about a stencil brand- spray painted on packs? Make it out of plastic so you can wash it? 😜🌲🌖
An series of videos of Story Flooring and other Commercial Clients of LCLY would be a welcome additive to the LCLY videos. Fantastic video, I thank you very much for bringing us along.
We didn't have such a nice mill. We did have a sortof mill back in the day. Just a circular blade. We built a barn with it! Oh this is Quebec Canada, small town called Gaspe,
That is a lot of hard work sawing all that oak . Should be a good pay day for that load of oak boards. Keep up the great work and keep the saw dust flying.
I would have used 3 metal bands Emerald. Good things come in 3's. That's a long ride to Titusville! Home to the Drake Well; first oil well in the U.S. ~ Traveling mercies! Really good picking music! Volcanic ash responsible for the cooler weather and extra moisture in the atmosphere. Have a great weekend!
I know the eastern half of the Pennsylvania turnpike pretty well and it’s got a lot of steep grade and twists and turns. I hope the fully loaded tractor and flatbed get back safely and that you all have a nice weekend. It’s a rainy here in Maryland (Friday).🌧️
Australia up in da house lol umm log yard lol we love your knowledge its awesome more cameos from Jade and ya brother BOB lol how good have you guys have done great to see the finish of a big job thx
Titusville, PA .. I know it "well"! The reference is for you to figure out...but where it's located in Venango County is very beautiful. Some awesome Victorian homes to boot!
Close the city of Titusville is actually in Crawford County but at the city limits it’s Venango County line. Looked like a Ross truck hauling it back to Titusville.
Awesome that the work you do will be turned into beautiful floors that families will enjoy for many years to come, this should give you a great deal of satisfaction. Was the trailer fully loaded in the end or was the space in the middle left like that to balance the weight of the load ?
Please make a video following the oak through its entire travle from there, to the kiln, back to the factory for recuts and into a house. That would make excellent content.
Lots of us guys, would like to see the journey from tree, to floor. Might take a bit if time , but im sure you gals would be very persuasive with any house owner seeing their floor on the Tube 💯😎👍
As a trucker, I'ld like to see 3 banded piles per stack. I know it's not as cheap as your kids picking up all those boards, but.. Does John prefer 1/4 sawn, or just standard cut?
Today just a few questions: Does the flooring Co. Own the the tractor trailer rig? The tractor must go back to the 60's. Did you store all that white oak in your dryer (kiln) before you bundled it in metal? Finally, what will the oak's moisture level be when it gets to the destination. In other words, what about tarping the load?
Emerald, it would be interesting if you and Jade could travel down to the factory and see what they do with the boards you've sawn, how they turn your planks into floors.
I second that. 🙋🏼♂️
A finished installation, owner approved of course, would be nice too.
I like that idea

Now that is a great idea. Thanks.

Who would have guessed a show bout lumber could be so satisfying, so enjoyable
3:43 Now that's a cool operation, cool hoodie, and nice rig.
Bossman did a great job loading that truck.
That John Deere 204L is an extremely impressive loader, and Bossman is very skilled at running it. Take care 👍
Oh yes! I bet that big check made the bank account feel good..lol! Nice lumber.

There is more to owning a sawmill than shoving the log through the blade!
It is always a good feeling to see a large load leave your yard. Cash flow is key to a successful business. Nice video

Good evening Emerald and Family
Hope you guys made bank on that job. Y'all deserve it.
Danke and keep going!!!
I always give a thumbs up to this honest hard working family!
I click the thumbs up first and then watch at least thirty seconds of the ads so the channel makes a tiny income from the video.
The lift has a max load rating on a name plate on the machine. The name plate will specify a max load for 24" out on the forks. These loads have a 24" center of gravity, so no adjustment to the max load number is necessary.
Nice job by all hopefully at some point we’ll get a glimpse of a finished floor.
Google them,, their craftsmanship is amazing...

I go past your mill every day south bound on 15. Saw this trailer being loaded. Hope some day I can stop in. Stay safe.
Very cool, E. That flooring could be around in homes for 200+ years. That's what you call a real contributions.

Great job team!! Boss ,
awesome job as
usual!!!
👍🧙♂️🐺
WOW! John's got one heck of a ride home!
Great job LCLY! Big smile on your faces and be proud of that truckload of your product heading out! Congrats! 👍👍👍👍. Have a great weekend LCLY! 👍👍👍
Suggestion: install cardboard corner protectors under metal straps to reduce breakage and damage to wood edges
There are plastic corners . Check with the manufacturer.
I was thinking it wouldn't hurt to add another band, but not sure
@@mowis4824 good idea, three or four bands for hardwoods would be optimal
Well done with another interesting video.
Great job guys those stacks do look near the machine lift capacity smooth operating from the Boss
Great marketing for both sides.
“so, they have to get it to their flooring company and make it into some floors…” Couldn’t have said it any better myself 😊
I’m not sure if you are old enough to drink Emerald but if you are then you deserve a nice cold beer to kick off the weekend.
She is 19. I am sure she has a routine for the weekend either way. Its a family business so she has been doing this since she was little.
Interesting to see a small operation deal with procedures that a large company handle on a daily basis.
I just had a short visit on story book homepage and it's hardly to describe how wonderful the high end product of all your hard work is. congratulations! (excuse my bad english)

Will he grade that lumber & pay by grade ? We cut & sold millions of feet of oak over 40 years ! I’m sure the prices are ridiculously high now !
Good job you guys love the work and videos you do.
Thumbs up! Love seeing the lumber on it's journey. Thanks for sharing your company's daily operations. 💯
high quality heavy woods.thank you for sharing .you are a high value beautiful girl
Its nice to see the mountain turning green. That load today was sure a lot of work for you and Jade. I hope you got off early for the weekend.
that load is BIG BUCKS.. Champagne time for you guys!.. Congrats.
within four minutes! Thank you again :)
You all have been really busy milling all that lumber. Awesome job to all.
We didn't have such a nice mill. We did have a sortof mill back in the day. Just a circular blade. We built a barn with it! Oh this is Quebec Canada, small town called Gaspe,
That's great news for your business with such a big order that's awesome!!
Good work boss man!😊
That is a lot of hard work sawing all that oak .
Should be a good pay day for that load of oak boards.
Keep up the great work and keep the saw dust flying.
Don't forget to tell Pop to put some more wind in them front tires on that new loader. 👍👍
Wow boss man makes that look easy! Its really nice to get those big projects done and out of the way! You guys are amazing!
Smile! You have a better loader than I do....slow or fast...
Cause
I don't have one....🇨🇦😁👍

It will make some premium flooring. Why no walnut wood? Walnut is one of Pa`s prettiest wood.
Hey Emerald, can we get another video like this again sometime?
It has to feel great to see your hard work pay off and maybe u can get to see the floors being processed
Good Job U guys are the Best!!!
The front tires on the old John Deere were starting to swell.
Please make a video following the oak through its entire travle from there, to the kiln, back to the factory for recuts and into a house. That would make excellent content.

So yeah, new here, and your problem is?
you worry too much young lady... thats a lot of effort and a lot of time rolling away on that truck... good job
Hope you have a great weekend
That load going out should of made for some room in the yard
Their online catalog is pretty, so I've thought of ordering a floor from them.
Good work
FYI, you should be able to get a scale for the fork lift that would tell you the weight of the load you are lifting
They don't need a scale. The weight of boards is already known. Just need to do some math based on tree species.
