    And most recently we've been making a boatload of 1x6x8 for a customer.

    We're stickering it inside his house project, I guess it's going to be paneling.....

    I sell them to a place that makes tongue & groove material out of them.

    The place is called "Mountain milling" it's in Mt home Arkansas, they've got quite a few different cedar products on their website.

    He built it on a steel flatbed semi trailer for the frame.
    We cut all the decking, posts, and railing materials.
    Sorry the picture is so bad.... he texted it to me, I think maybe his phone was fogged up from the humidity that day.

    Sawing hay bales was Tom's invention, it works...... not very well, but it does work.

    Last week we built this pole building for my sister & bil, we used our lumber for everything except the pt posts.
    24x36x10
    Recycled metal roofing was used, but it turned out pretty dandy I guess. IMG_20230705_114346.jpg IMG_20230705_164314.jpg IMG_20230706_143712.jpg IMG_20230706_171335.jpg

    Better stacking equals better finished product in my philosophy... I just wish I could get my younger son to believe me on that one...
