Bush Signs Housing
Bill Into Law
President Bush recently signed into
law H.R. 3221, the Housing and
Economic Recovery Act of 2008. The
landmark housing legislation is aimed at
ending the current cyclical downturn in
the housing industry, helping homebuyers and strapped borrowers and
strengthening the housing finance system.
Key elements of the bill include: a temporary first-time homebuyer tax credit;
Federal Housing Administration (FHA)
modernization and expansion; government-sponsored enterprise (GSE)
reform; a mortgage revenue bond program; and a low income housing tax
credit.
The centerpiece of the housing bill is
the temporary, $7,500 first-time homebuyer tax credit for the purchase of any
home. The tax credit can be used for
homes purchased between April 9,
2008, and July 1, 2009.
“This milestone bill contains several
provisions to get homebuyers back into
the marketplace, stop the slide in home
prices, provide a lifeline to borrowers
facing foreclosure, improve mortgage
liquidity and bolster confidence in
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac,” said
Sandy Dunn, president of the National
Assoc. of Home Builders (NAHB). “We
commend Congress and the President
for taking this action to provide muchneeded relief to the American people.”
Richard F. Gaylord, president of the
National Assoc. of Realtors (NAR),
added, “The National Assoc. of Realtors
and its 1.2 million members commend
President George W. Bush for his quick
action in signing the housing stimulus
bill today. This legislation will go a long
way to help stabilize the housing market
and make the dream of homeownership
more attainable for many Americans. In
addition, more families will be able to
refinance into safer, more affordable
mortgages, in many cases helping those
families avoid a devastating foreclosure.”
Mistake Leaves Softwoods
Unprotected Under Lacey Act
Although Congress recently voted to
override the President’s veto on the
Lacey Act, Softwoods were left unprotected because an incomplete copy of
the Farm Bill was sent to the President.
A Softwood lumber requirement and
other miscellaneous provisions that
were mistakenly left out will have to be
addressed later.
New amendments to the Lacey Act,
which was included in this year’s Farm
Bill, are intended to protect forests
worldwide from deforestation and keep
illegal wood products from entering the
United States. Under the law, retailers

Creativity Makes DANIELS WOOD LAND a Tree Topper
By Brady Buffaloe
These are some of the critters that Daniels Wood Land, headquartered in Paso Robles,
Calif., can produce.
P a s o R o b l e s , C a l i f . – At Daniels
Wood Land, located here, the creativity
and good ideas have certainly become
one, and they have hit the ball out of the
park–or tree for that matter.
Brothers Johnny and Ron Daniels head
up the company, which specializes in
tree houses. These are not the ordinary

These are elaborate playhouses that
have to be seen to believe
Ron grew up, with his twin brother,
Johnny and their older brother on a
ranch. They were a real life Tom
Sawyer-like bunch of country boys. After
the chores were done, they had free
playtime, as long as they used it wisely.
Their John Wayne-like dad could always
find more chores if they looked bored.
They were always up to something creative, and the forts they built were
incredible. As Johnny started carving in
the early 1990’s, Ron headed off to college.
The beginning of Daniels Wood Land
can be traced all the way back to when
Need long timbers?
Life’s too short to waste time.
This tree house is one of the company’s best sellers.
Johnny was in grade school- drawing
pictures instead of listening to his
teacher.
“During high school, Johnny started
carving small faces and made a little
money when he sold them,” Ron said. “A
short time later he tried carving with a
chainsaw- he was a natural right from the
beginning. He’s been carving ever since
then. In 1997 Johnny decided to build a
special tree house from his bear characters and the rest is history.”
Today, Ron is president and coordinates
the general business activities with his
brother. These two are very creative and
a little crazy.
Daniels Wood Land specializes in tree houses,
including this Deluxe Scallywag Sloop pirate ship.

This tree house is themed Monkey Mansion
Storybook.
There are seven or eight standard tree
house packages, which are built in two
main pieces: the playhouse and the log.
It is a tree house that comes with its own
tree. Playhouses are made from
Redwood siding.
“The logs are real, old fallen trees that
we hollow out using a chainsaw,” Ron
said. “To get into the playhouse, simply
enter the door in the hollow log, climb up
the ladder in the center of the log and
pull yourself through the trap door in the
floor of the playhouse. Kids or no kids,
our tree houses are incredible additions
to any landscape. With tree houses like
these, it’s hard to say who’s the most
excited—the kids or the parents.”
Custom tree house packages are up to
the customer’s imagination.
“Many of the designs we produce for
clients are entirely custom,” Ron said. “If
they want Robin Hood, Tiki Huts, Old
West, a giant Pirate Ship, or anything
they can think of, we can build and deliver a truly unique piece.”
The company also manufactures characters out of large pieces of wood.

84 Lumber Receives FSC
Certification At 26 Stores
E i g h t y - F o u r , P a . —84 Lumber Co.,

(FSC)
chain-of-custody
certification for 26
of its stores.
The

With the certification, these stores will

both in stock and through special orders
on a project-by-project basis.
The company also recently opened new
stores on 17.18 acres in McFarland,
Wis., and on 13.41 acres in Bethel
Heights, Ark.
In related news, 84 Lumber Co. recently posted its first monthly profit of the
year, as sales had remained flat since
December 2007. Primarily dependent
on single-family housing starts, 84
Lumber saw sales begin to drop in April
2006.
Dan Wallach, 84 Lumber’s chief financial officer, said, “Because we are a
national company with half of our locations in the northeastern quadrant of the
country, we have been somewhat less
affected by drops in housing starts in the
southeast and southwest quadrants
than some of our competitors. This geographic footprint and gains in marketshare have allowed our sales to remain
consistent even as starts have
declined.”
84 Lumber has been going through a
reorganization period this year, as the
company has eliminated bad debt,
reduced payroll and closed or consolidated a number of unprofitable locations. The lumberyard chain also recently entered into two five-year financing
packages worth $590 million.

Menards Plans Expansion
Into Missouri
E a u C l a i r e , W i s . —Menards, located here, recently announced plans to
add a second and third home
improvement store in Missouri. Bigbox stores in both Columbia and
Sedalia, Mo., are expected to open in
2009.
Menards entered Missouri in 2007
with its first location in St. Joseph,
Mo., which is on the northwestern border of the state with Kansas. As of
press time, construction had yet to
begin on the 162,000-square-foot
Sedalia store.
Menards also recently opened a
240,000-square-foot store on 20
acres in Tipp City (Dayton), Ohio, as
well as a store in Escanaba, Mich.
The firm will open a location on 17.5
acres in Fairfield Township, Ohio, by
spring 2010.
Menards has more than 240 stores in
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan,
Minnesota, Nebraska, North and
South Dakota, Missouri, Ohio and
Wisconsin. The company is expected
to enter a 12th state, Wyoming, later

Instead, phrases
included, “It’s a
tough market”; “We’re plugging along”;
“There is no demand”, “Sales are okay,
but volumes are down, along with margins”; “We’re hanging in there” and “It’s
a struggle.”
In today’s market price is not the issue;
buyers are very cautious and simply will
not buy until they need the item.
Pat Murphy, who heads up the Pacific
Western sales office in Lake Oswego,
Ore., said, “My sales to California are
way off this year. I tend to do most of my
business with buyers in the foothills of
the Sierra Mountains, in areas like
Sacramento. I’m making sales here and
there, but sales are down about twothirds compared to a year or two ago.
Generally the California market is really,
really depressed. The one bright spot is
in Fresno. I used to sell one customer
there three trucks of timbers a month
and 10 trucks of random material monthly. “So far this year he’s bought two
trucks of timbers and two trucks of
dimension. On the plus side this customer has told me that he is quoting a lot
of business, which is a good sign. I’m
actually selling more into Oregon these
days.”
Darren Duchi, sales manager for
Siskiyou Forest Products, Anderson,
Calif., said, “Although July was fairly
busy, right now a lot of buyers are sitting
on their hands. They are waiting to see
what the next six to 12 months will bring.
No one really wants to commit. These
days we are working harder and getting
better at selling smaller volumes of
wood. Our sales of window, door and
cabinet material are not as strong as
they have been in past years at this time
of year. However, we are still running
two shifts five days a week. I find in
sales that it’s a good idea to aim high
and shoot for the moon. If you miss, you
still end up with good numbers. If you
aim at a pile of manure, that’s all you
end up with when you hit it. Right now
you have to set realistic goals and work
hard to reach them.

According

sources in the
Midwest,
Texas
has remained the
bright spot of the
region. While business has slowed,
the state’s job market is still attracting residents from outof-state.
A Texas-based custom millwork and
timbers manufacturer said the state continues to be “the best market out there.
It’s slowed down just a tad, but not a
whole lot on our end. It’s definitely not
enough to make me worried.”
The source, citing the Dallas Business
Journal, said approximately one out of
seven people moving from one state are
moving to Texas “because of the available jobs.”
The Texas contact said summer temperatures often exceeding 100 degrees
are to blame for slower production
schedules recently. “The job sites have
to start and finish so early because they
can’t stand the heat. You just can’t get
It doesn’t get Greener than Red.
as much production when it gets hot.”
The contact said Douglas Fir, which
goes into the multi-family sector, has
kept strong sales “mainly due to the
lower prices” of the species.
The source said that all indicators are
pointing towards a turnaround in late
2009. “When it does come back, I don’t
think we’ll see it steady out for awhile,”
he said. “We won’t see it near the boom
we had in the past. People will be a little
bit more cautious and not jump out and
build 9 million homes for 100,000 people.”
North Dakota Survives Struggling
Housing Market
According to the North Dakota Assoc.
of Realtors, the North Dakota housing
market has begun slowing, despite an
overall stable market.
“Our people didn’t over speculate (the
housing market) here like they did in
other states,” said Jill Beck, executive
vice president for the North Dakota
Assoc. of Realtors. Because of that,
there are fewer foreclosures in North
Dakota, less than 1 percent of loans are
defaulted in the state and houses are
selling for roughly the same price they
did a year ago.
However, there has been a slowdown
in home sales in recent months. Houses
in Bismarck and Mandan are staying on
the market longer than in previous
years, climbing from 63 days in 2007 to
82 days this year, and there are more
homes up for sale.
“There is definitely activity out there,”
said Nancy Deichert of the Bismarck
Mandan Board of Realtors. “Certainly
we had our boom years. Fortunately, we
didn’t boom at the same pace the financial markets did.”

According to the National Assoc. of
Home Builders (NAHB)/Wells Fargo
Housing Market Index (HMI), builder
confidence recently declined six points
to 10 in the Midwest, the region’s lowest
HMI score since regional data was introduced in December 2004.
Nationwide, builder confidence for
newly built single-family homes fell to a
record low of 16. The index gauges
builder perceptions of current singlefamily home sales and sales expectations for the next six months as either
“good,” “fair” or “poor.”
The HMI’s three components all hit
record lows including the index gauging
current sales conditions, which fell one
point to 16; the index gauging sales
expectations in the next six months,
which dropped four points to 23; and the
index gauging traffic of prospective buyers, which receded four points to 12.
Mark Dotzour, chief economist of the
Real Estate Center at Texas A&M
University in College Station, said
builders are learning to deal with the
housing boom fallout that was created
by a “grand social experiment” of lowering barriers to buying a house and provided mortgages to those with bad credit.
New Home Sales Increase
In Midwest
According to a report by the Commerce
Department, the Midwest recently
reported a monthly sales gain of 2.5 percent for newly built single-family homes.
Nationwide, new home sales dipped 0.6
percent to a seasonally adjusted annual
rate of 530,000 units.
Sandy Dunn, NAHB president, said the
housing and economic stimulus bill,
which was signed into law by President
Bush, should edge up weak sales numbers. “This legislation will boost confidence in the housing finance system,
bring some stability to the overall market
and stimulate sales as first-time buyers
start taking advantage of a tax credit of
up to $7,500,” she said.
David Seiders, NAHB chief economist,
said the report shows that builders are
making some progress in reducing the
inventory of unsold units. According to
the report, the inventory of new homes
for sale eased down 5.3 percent to
426,000 units. This represents a 10month supply at the current sales pace.

she enjoys the fast-paced operation of

Green Mountain Forestry Leads Architect Tour At CERSOSIMO LUMBER
By Terry Miller
Steve Hardy (far left), owner of Green Mountain Forestry, Brattleboro,
Vt., leads a tour of architects from Goody, Clancy & Associates Inc.,
Boston, Mass., around Cersosimo Lumber Co. Inc., also in Brattleboro.
B r a t t l e b o r o , V t . — As certified
forestry grows in popularity, it is important to truly understand what programs
like the Forest Stewardship Council
entail and why “green” is becoming the
new buzzword. In that vein, Green
Mountain Forestry, a forestry consultant
firm owned by Steve Hardy, recently led
a group of over 20 architects on a tour of
several timberland projects as well as
Cersosimo Lumber Co. Inc., headquartered here.
The group surveyed three projects,
including a 27-acre woodlot, last cut 20

brother, Jeff. Jeff Hardy handles Eastern

toured
a
60-acre
woodlot
in
Dummerston, Vt., last cut 50 years ago,
that is owned by Peter Doubleday. The
projects incorporated thinning and
mechanized logging respectively.
Steve Hardy said that the projects are
good examples of the type of work that
has been accomplished over the last 50
to 60 years without certification.
“FSC has done tremendous marketing about
what they’re doing, but
the program is too cost
prohibitive for many
small woodland owners,”
he
said.
“The

Initiative (SFI) and the

a little more reasonable.

organic, does it mean it’s not good
honey? If it’s not FSC certified forestry,
does it mean it’s not good forestry? We
wanted to showcase that while these
jobs are not certified per se, the forestry
on them is exemplary.”
Steve said he hopes the tour cleared
up a lot of confusion that architects have
about the role of certified woods in the
forest products industry as well as other
details.
“The architects didn’t realize that
foresters actually go in, mark the trees
and make sure everybody is properly
insured,” Steve said. “They were really
intrigued by how we do things as
foresters. When we went to Cersosimo’s
sawmill, they were amazed at the orderliness of it all. Logs aren’t just dropped
off in a pile and sawn up. They’re properly graded and scaled.”
In addition to the tour and dinner, the
group asked questions about forest certification, which Dan Harrison, vice president and general manager of
Cersosimo Lumber Co., addressed.
Jeff Hardy said there was good, meaningful discussion from both sides. “It was
very informative for us to understand the
architects’ thought processes behind
their spec building projects,” he said. “It
was informative for them to understand
that while these timber lots are not certified, there are very good harvesting
practices going on and that lumber is
equal to any FSC-certified lumber.”
Steve Hardy, a licensed forester in
Vermont,
New
Hampshire
and
Massachusetts, also co-owns a nonprofit forest foundation, the Northeast
Regional Forest Foundation, with Rob
O’Halloran. Together, the two travel to
schools and universities during their
down time to promote the “wise use of
natural resources in a free market economy.”

time and moisture content precisely for
each piece of wood that is cut. Sorts are
kept to a minimum to preserve the quality of the wood manufactured at Idaho
Veneer.

R i c h m o n d , B . C . –It was billed the
battle of the eyebrows recently in the
Whistler Ballroom of the elegant River
Rock Casino Resort, located here,
where the British Columbia Wholesale
Lumber Association (BCWLA) crowned
Dalton B. Lewis its Lumberman Of The
Year. It was billed battle of the eyebrows
because everyone seated at the head
table was sporting bushy fakes in sympathy with the tangled forest the guest of
honor legitimately has growing above his
eyes.
BCWLA President Jack Hetherington,
of Evergreen Empire Mills, Burnaby,
B.C., made the presentation but not
before the “Mighty Dalt” rotisserated on
the spit before the assembled multitudes
at the 28th Annual BCWLA Roast being
held in his honor.
Basted royally by a regal array of
Roasters, which included such luminaries as Russ Hanna, former lumber freight
manager at B.C. Rail, North Vancouver,
B.C., Tony Darling of Skana Forest
Products, Richmond, B.C., Gudmund
(Gudy) Gudmundseth of Coast Roofing,
Maple Bay, B.C., and the esteemed
Ernie J. Harder of Col-Pac Lumber,
Vancouver, B.C. Dalton Lewis was subjected to an evening of ribald abuse.
“And who better to receive such backhanded praise – and heavy on the backhanded, I might add,” declared
Roastmaster Tom Davis of Taiga Building
Products, Burnaby, B.C.
The annual BCWLA Award Roast is a
major event on the Association’s social
calendar. A society registered in the
Province of British Columbia with roots
going back to 1946, the BCWLA endeavors to foster, maintain and develop communication and cooperation among lumber wholesalers and other branches and
levels of the lumber industry, governmental agencies and the public in general.
Comprised of 28 full members and 17
associate members, the BCWLA, in
addition to philanthropic initiatives,
strives to promote high standards of
business conduct, integrity, and camaraderie in the wholesale lumber industry.
And it is to that end that the BCWLA
sponsors four major social events
throughout the year: a “Family Night”
barbeque with the Oakland A’s affiliate
Vancouver Canadians Professional
Baseball Club in July, a major golf tournament in August, a “Smoker” in
December, where high profile speakers
rally the troops in a social setting, and
the famous Lumberman Of The Year
Roast each summer when the BCWLA
honors someone whose exemplary conduct and career has benefited in a positive manner, not only themselves but the
lumber industry in general and society as
