Out with the burned, in with the blue

First and foremost, as most of you would do, get back to work. The Sawmill survived the fire and I still have a few logs to saw. Luckily my entire stock of dry wood did not burn. I did lose about 75% however. So I have to get more cut and drying. In the couple days before the fire I had cut and stacked about 1500 board feet of wood. Those stacks were the first to burn. So this afternoon I got some cut and will stack in the attached garage.

Right now I am just sawing beetle kill pine. Hopefully by the end of the weekend I will get some oak, poplar, elm, cedar and maple sawed. I did lose my entire stock of everything besides beetle kill pine.

Of course tool procurement is also top priority. The extremely necessary tools first while they clean up the mess. Hopefully I can get caught up on my orders and will be able to start the building.

Back in the saddle again. Good for you Monte. At least you don't have snow on the ground in the amount we do and more coming.

Glad to hear you are digging out. I seems that you have a recovery plan and that is the first priority. Good luck on the recovery and rebuilding. Stay busy and before you know it, you will be up and better than before.

Depending on which weather forecast you listen to, I am supposed to get between 1 and 7 inches of snow tonight. That's why I was moving things into the attached garage.

Good that you have the ability to replace you lumber with some elbow grease. I guess things could have been worse. I sincerely hope that things go smoothly and quickly for you Monte.

After the couple of wretched weather we've had here in Louisiana the past couple of days, I really don't know how you guys in the Northern areas make it :) I don't function well in the cold.

You GO man! Admiration for your resolve doesn't even begin to convey your courage in the face of this. Very best, and if you ever get down this way (Colorady), maybe we could go to Canon City and get a BLM permit for artisan juniper you could take back and work with. Very best to you.

hey monte, i just had this new idea pop into my head, you wont believe this, but what would you think of doing a timber frame type shop, and have a half loft upstairs, with windows going across so you can look down into the shop but yet the windows stop saw dust to migrate into the loft…you could have a office up there, and maybe on the very front of the shop, have a gallery, a great place to show your work and it lets people see your work…i know this is so new…LOL…but i really can see you ion a shop like this…you could use the different types of wood for a wall covering in the gallery, it would let people see what woods you use…ok…im done, its your shop not mine….but if i can help any let me know…

Out with the burned, in with the blue

First and foremost, as most of you would do, get back to work. The Sawmill survived the fire and I still have a few logs to saw. Luckily my entire stock of dry wood did not burn. I did lose about 75% however. So I have to get more cut and drying. In the couple days before the fire I had cut and stacked about 1500 board feet of wood. Those stacks were the first to burn. So this afternoon I got some cut and will stack in the attached garage.

Right now I am just sawing beetle kill pine. Hopefully by the end of the weekend I will get some oak, poplar, elm, cedar and maple sawed. I did lose my entire stock of everything besides beetle kill pine.

Of course tool procurement is also top priority. The extremely necessary tools first while they clean up the mess. Hopefully I can get caught up on my orders and will be able to start the building.

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading the words of encouragement and suggestions for the new shop. Always up for newIideas.

Thanks for reading
