Hey big red, I don't know anything about kentucky ( Except the chicken) but there is a member KYlogger in morgan county Kentucky Don't know if that's near you or not. You should head over to the sawmill forum ( if you havent already) , lot's of great info on there for getting that old mill going.

I looked at some land in Trigg County, not far from you. Nice country there. My parents live west of you near Murray. If my circumstances change for the better, I wouldn't mind buying a place up that-a-way. Kentucky is an awesome state.
