Great clip! Imagine using that lumber for shoring timbers in mines, etc, what a waste of beautiful lumber!

If there were jobs like that today they would simply demand that foreign workers are brought in. As a little hint when you work hard hot jobs you eat light & save the end of the day for a big meal. ;)

Almost all the real old houses here had/have redwood siding. It take 100 years to rot.
