The milling of our logs into lumber was completed today. I'm not sure what all we got, but it sure seems like a lot of wood. Cedar siding and decking for sure and some maple for Roy's shop. It took a full 5 days and will have saved us some money. Roy will be kept busy though because all of those deck boards have to be planed and the edges routered (is that a word?). The rough sawn finish is OK for siding but too rough for underfoot. Since Roy doesn't own a planer or a table saw, the money we saved will buy the tools that will help us save more money (he says). I've been on this merri-go-round before -stop, please let me off!

Hey Roy, are you going to build your own kitchen cabinets with your own wood like we did? The feeling of accomplishment is sooo rewarding. Give it a try and want to see pictures!
