Default RE: Additions to the Cabin

Is there pine growing there? What does? We have found that it is considerably cheaper and much more satisfying to do some selective timber harvesting and find a local guy with a portable bandsaw mill to saw it for you. Here they charge $125-$135/1000 bf. Here, we also found a guy with a planing/moulding business (I don't remember what he charged). He made all of our 1" select into tongue and groove and window/baseboard trim. We have some oak, pine, hemlock, white ash, poplar, birch t&g. The bathroom is cedar tongue and groove with a black ash t&g floor. All of this was taken off our own land. I think the popple is the best looking. The outer wood is almost white, while the heartwood is red.
Anyway, it adds a bit of pride to camp when you know that some of the materiel is "homemade".
It does take a &quot;little&quot; more work on your part.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
