Miller Time

Last year about this time Nick and a friend fell the enormous fir from in front of our house. Here is a shot of the logs we salvaged and have been waiting to have milled:

Squaring it up:
Second cut for tabletops and beams:
Here is the largest log (41") that Nick and the miller had to jack by hand onto the mill. That took a while!
It was so large they had to cut into it make it fit:
Two logs down. The milling is resuming today as they tackle some fencing for a friend. Today will be my first time to see the mill in action and I am super excited. Apparently it has been quite the happening as Nick says half the day is spent talking to everyone who stops by to see what is going on. Love small town life!
