thank you all for your answers.
sorry I have had some papers that needed writing and this is the first break in awhile.
I agree with the contract. They are necessary. someday I hope to do it on a handshake because as much fun as the law is and nice to have behind you it can be very dirty at times also and no body wins when they get to court (not even if you win) but I think the contracts are a great idea and thank you for the advice.
It is probably just me but I find it a little wierd that so many people want 4/4. I had a feeling that 4/4 was a big item but in my mind I would have thought 8/4 would be a more sought after product since it would be harder to find. though I guess all buyers are different.
I hope I never have to kiln dry someone's logs and then saw them but if the price is right who knows.

thanks again
