EARTH OVERSHOOT DAY: Humanity now lives on natural resources borrowed from the future
Wednesday, 2 August marked a devastating reminder about the severe imbalance between the current use of Earth’s natural resources and that which the planet can produce in a year. In less than eight months, we have arrived at Earth Overshoot Day.

This morning included a trip to a sawmill for project supplies. #woodworking #lumber
We move a lot of #wood around the world, sometimes as products, but more often as low-quality #lumber packaging. Lots of #insects live in or on that wood – bark #beetles, ambrosia beetles, wood borers, and the list goes on.
In this new paper Greenwood et al. take a look at #InvasiveSpecies routes and recommends changes in policy and practice.
This is a #worldwide #forest #health issue. It requires #solutions at all levels.
(Check out the Fig. 2 #infographic!)

The price of lumber at my local Kent (based on a few items) hasn't changed by a penny since 2022-07-22, but random length lumber futures are down 30% since then
Maybe I'm not building that raised bed I wanted this spring

Todays job is shelf building. I planed some more pine 2x4s from rough sawn lumber we milled back in fall 2021 and has been air drying since.
Aiming to extend this shelving unit that I built last week down one side. I’ll be securing it to the shipping container again to make it extra strong.

A year ago I got an estimate for a new fence. The salesman told me yeah prices were high but probably won't go down any time soon.
I called his bet by waiting. Now my fence is probably going to cost the same but they'll profit twice as much... I really need to learn how to short stocks/futures/whatever would have made me money by the price dropping by 69.97% (nice.)

A quotation from Tolkien, J.R.R.:
«««««
Curse him, root and branch! Many of those trees were my friends, creatures I had known from nut and acorn; many had voices of their own that are lost for ever now. And there are wastes of stump and bramble where once there were singing groves. I have been idle. I have let things slip. It must stop!

Lumber auction has been won!!
I am apparently proud owner of ~150 bdft of equal parts black cherry and white ash. It averaged out to about $0.75/bdft which I can't complain about. Now only problem is to figure out how to get it home and hide it without finance ministry noticing.
