Hey Rick,   I lived in Bennington for a while years ago.   Worked at Benmont Paper  making Christmas wraping paper all year long.    I live in Virginia now.   Congrats on the new mill.   You will be happier than a "Edited by Admin" billy goat!    Pete.

Welcome to the Forum! Good luck with the new mill. I forsee a few flat rock foundation timber frame structures going up in your area soon after you get your 1400.  ;)
There are no problems; only solutions we haven't found yet.
