You know your wife owns a sawmill when she argues with da logger that the logs will only barely make 2x8's let alone you ordered for 2x10 logs .  Logger left em for free anyways and had our load we ordered delivered by 4pm that afternoon. :D :D :D

When you go to look for a new house and your spouse judges the value of the property you are looking at on what can be cut from the trees in the yard. ;D  And spends more time talking to the neighbors to see if they would be interested in giving their yard trees away too. ::)

she hates to ask you for some money to go shopping, because when you pull out your wallet you leave a pile of sawdust on her floor or when she kisses you goodbye and can tell the species of wood you are cutting bye the taste
