A Home for the Shingle Mill

We made it home with the shingle mill, but now we have to find a place to use it.  We decided to go up!  We added a second story over the edger area. Below are a few photos of how much we've accomplished so far.

Trip to Canada for the Shingle Mill

Recently Ann & I traveled to Ontario Canada to pick up a Shingle Mill.  It is the newest addition to my sawmill operation.  We'll use the mill to shingle the addition to the cabin.

 We finally made it across the border around 10pm
