Not many lefties know about Bill Gates's house is made from old growth lumber... That's true but apparently in your pathetic need to lie, or in this case, to muddy up the truth, you missed an important part of the story.........the old growth wood that Gates used was existing lumber that had been used previously: "Most of the wood used in the main home comes from ancient Northwest forests. Gates bought about a half-million board feet from what was once the Long-Bell Lumber Co. work sheds in Longview. The huge sheds, some nearly a quarter-mile long, were built in the 1920s to house the company's lumber and cabinet businesses. Many old-growth Douglas fir beams, some measuring more than 75 feet in length, were used." scholar.lib.vt.edu
