I started this 2 weeks ago and we were going to attack it right away. Then life happens. My welder and I are both equipment specialists at the main hospital here. One of us alternates problems to work on there causing scheduling conflicts. I wound up with some projects I had to finish and my 83 year old mother slipped on ice and broke her leg.
Enough whining, back to work! Yesterday the stars aligned (except for weather) and we started the assembly. We estimate that we’re a third done. It was 22 degrees with a 15 mph wind.by the time we quit I was froze to the core. ButIit’s started!

Your mother is in my prayers! Hope she recovers rapidly, but don’t let her try any stunts too quickly. She may do more harm than good. I’m sure you are looking forward to warmer days when you are off duty so the saw mill can be completed; and you are lumbering.

Really sorry about your mom’s accident! But glad to see progress on the mill. That looks like pretty professional work!. That does look like an indoor job to me though!

Monte, Looks like a good start. Spring is coming (least that is what I keep hearing, suppose to snow here again tonight) so you should be able to get some trees on that thing soon. Looking forward to seeing what you discover when you do.
Hope your mom recovers quick.
