Our place is No. 16 in the New Timber Market. If you have ever been around this market, you know it is full of wood and sawdust. That is what our daily life looks like here. We spend most of our time moving heavy planks and sorting through different kinds of timber. The smell of fresh wood is always in the air, which I don't mind. It is a loud place though, with saws running and trucks loading up constantly. We have a tiny space for our records, but most of the actual work happens out on the floor. My clothes are almost always covered in dust by the time I head home. We don't have any marketing plans or fancy logos on the walls. It’s just a basic shop where we deal with wood. Some days are slow and we just tidy up the stacks. Other days are hectic with people coming in for big orders. The weather can be a challenge since we have to make sure the timber stays dry when it rains. We’ve been part of this market for a good while now. We know the other shop owners and how things work around here. We aren't trying to be the biggest company out there. We just want to do our work and go home. It’s an honest way to earn a living in the timber trade.
