[AT] lots of saw mills

[CEE VILL]

I was able to stretch fifteen years out of the first floor, Cecil.  If this one does as well , I will probably never have to worry about the next one.  Here are a couple of pics. of the installed floor. The boards are very tight together but after the lumber dried, there is plenty of gap.

This was an old fashioned mill with the buzz saw type blade.  The owner was a younger man than I expected but was a man of his word and kept his promise.  That was a nice change after a mill 15 miles from home stalled me for about two months and never did come up with any 20 foot logs to cut or even shorter lengths that I could piece in.  If I have any future lumber needs, I will start off with the Mennenite gentleman first.  It is worth the drive.  The lumber was the exact same $$$ per board foot, but this man had the goods.
