Setting up the sawmill

In the spring Ed purchased a circular sawmill, from a company in town.  It took most of the summer to get it home, because we had to wait till the ground was dry or the crane truck would get stuck in the yard where the sawmill was parked. The last load of 3 came home in early August and he has spent many afternoons out setting up and fabricating the mill.  I lost track of the amount of bits and pieces that were bought home but in late August, while Sue, Mike and the girls were here, Ed and Mike made some huge progress and it has gone from pieces here and there to a sawmill setup.

Goofing around out at the sawmill site. Whos idea was this, I found a video where Annika and Dylan pulled the tree down and it looked like Russ was about to be launched through the air, thank goodness he was too heavy for the tree

Steady, Steady

Almost there

Since August it has almost all been put together, lately Ed has been tweaking and lining things up. Soon it will be up and running.

More pictures to come of progress and the history of it.
