This should keep the snow off the mill for a couple of years.

Once again I'd like to thank all the people that helped out this summer.

Next year we will start the main project of replacing the timbers of the old mill.

Tim ready for the winter.

Pole Barn Continued...

This log started out 34" in diameter.

We had to cut off the outside with the chainsaw to use the Alaskan saw Mill to make the beam.

Terry ready to work.

Tim ready to supervise!

Terry working the saw. First cut off the top of the log.

The dog is the best helper!

She loves to go down to the mill and dig and play.

She doesn't look too depressed!

5 1/2"x 12"x 22' beam

It takes a long time to make this beam with the Alaskan saw mill but no other way to do it.

Reaching for the top!

Beautiful day to work!

Pulleys to ease the load.

Finished with the framing.

Next on to the roofing and hopefully done before winter sets in.
