Just loaded what will be the finish boards to the 5th cabin, what I heard just about blew me away.
These guys build for fixed income retirement housing at a low cost, but the finish is far from what you would expect.  These guys are expert carpenters, and to have them say, "we really don't need a level for your boards"
means allot.  I have yet to see their cabins, but know the reputation of them.  Two more or so on order,
I know what I saw, but to hear it,  adds a little bit of worth to the effort,    david
only have a few chain saws I'm not suppose to use, but will at times, one dog Dolly, pretty good dog, just not sure what for yet,  working on getting the gardening back in order, and kinda thinking on maybe a small bbq bizz,  thinking about it,

Any compliment said, that makes a Sawyer smile makes it all worth it.
Way to go David.

     Congrats!  You've got a right to be proud. You're a craftsman doing what you do well.  Just remember; if your head swells too much you'll have to buy bigger hats. :D

There's allot to be said about cutting what a customer needs and leave it at that, thanks guys, and a pat on the back goes along ways in this ole boys way of thinking, a check is just the bonus,   david

Thats great to hear. Why not write up a little story about it and send it to Woodmizer? I'm sure they would love to hear about it. It might be a good plug for you and the carpenters. Just a thought...
There are no problems; only solutions we haven't found yet.

Good to hear the milling business is still going strong.  Sounds like you and the mill are both running in top form.  How you manage to work 8 days a week?  Best of luck!

Lights in the shed, and a very good logger buddy,  it's not always easy, but enjoyable with satisfied customers,
