Shannon's Lumber Industry Update · 79 – So You Want to Start a Lumberyard

A Lumberyard is a business

Starting a lumberyard and selling your boards or slabs or millwork is much like starting any business.  The competitive landscape needs to be assessed and you need to find your niche.  In today's episode I talk about some of these things and also the eccentricities of the lumberyard business.  Because let us not forget that fact.  It is a business and needs to be treated that way.
