Finding Local Lumber Mills

Yesterday was a good day, I needed to find a local mill that would cut my huge cherry logs and then kiln dry and plane them. Lucky for me, I found exactly what I need 10 miles from the house. Buffulo River Hardwoods will kiln dry, plane, and straight line boards up to 24" wide and also sells hardwoods. I also found where to take my logs to be ripped into boards down in Ponca. It is really cool to use local wood, and with some work, you can have a really custom and unique home. Another cool thing is using Dad's 54 yr. old cherry and walnut wood he has been hoarding. Well the place is starting to really come together, and I wont have Scott's services very much longer. Hopefully, he will finish most of the siding before he's gone. I have hired a sheetrock sub, so the last piece of the puzzle is done, now it's time to push, push, push. The weather has been unbelievable, a wonderful fall so far and the leaves are showing signs of turning soon. These great fall days started at the 1st of september, and it has been nice and cool since then. Well, I lost the outhouse race after suffering 2 pulled muscles in my glutius minimis. But it was alot of fun, and Matt got to drive the outhouse in the race. It's been kind of lonely up here lately, it will be nice when folks start showing up at the cabin to enjoy the fall. Til then, take care and, SYOTMS   Roger
