Great shots! What are they using for cribbing? Do they make themselves or buy it?

I'm not sure, but it looks very well made with the lines and T-7. If I remember tonight, I'll ask.

Thanks DIck! We are going through the debate about hardwood versus softwood cribbing. I am just looking to see what others are doing.

You'd be surprised how inexpensive hardwood, true dimensional hardwood cribbing can be if you contact a local sawmill. I'm in northern Illinois and we found a place willing to deal with us. Only drawback is the hardwood weighs a lot! We bought quite a bit extra as well, so we'll be good for many years to come is we lose or damage pieces. Our biggest hassle was finding someone that had a large enough power saw to cut wedges from 4 x 4's.

Great photos. Really like the interior ops at the strip mall. Nice to see the crews preserve the evidence for the investigators.
