Todays Milling

[thewoodlands]

Thanks Billy, I've looked at the Logrite arch and if we decide to buy one that is the one we want. Thanks for the links, we have decided (could change)with the size 18x18 with a shed style roof and a front porch.

We still are getting some info on what type of foundation NYS or our town requires for this size building then it's agreeing on the spot.
to build it

Sound good Zap

At my house I can build up to 200 sq/f without getting a permit. Which is about 12x16. At the farm I want to put in a few small guest cabins but I am going to make them look like big hunting shacks.

Had a nice talk with the code enforcement officer yesterday, next on the list is the assessors office so we have a good idea what this will do with our taxes. The CEO did say anything under 1500 square feet can be built on skids.

We are thinking that a 18 x 18 cabin with a front porch the same width but 8-10 feet deep, we are taking a run back in later to look at the spots we will choose from. Looking to build it off the brook about 100 feet .(code)

Any good cheap cad programs I can purchase, just need it for the CEO.

CowboyBilly, What model is that 'Mizer?

Looks like a lumbar yard! Awesome........

When milling in the winter will it be harder on the saw and will the wood react much different (cracking) then in the summer.

Milling in the winter is easier on the saw with cooler temps. Fresh cross cut with painted ends either way.

That sounds good, looks like Friday will be a day of milling some hemlock then it's off to more pine. Did you have a design yet for the chicken coop?

Went back in tonight an picked out our spot for the cabin, a few stump removals plus some dead trees and we should be fine.

Thanks Ratman but I can't hold a candle to Quads, the man is a mean machine when it comes to work. It has felt good to take the summer off and do some milling. I did take a run back in tonight an scanned the side of the hills for more wood, I'll be cutting again starting in the fall until I'm snowed out of the woods.
