Demolition Plus came into the auto parts store needing some oil for a compressor. I've been seeing the trucks around and asked what they do.
They are tearing down the IP or Verso paper mill in Jay. If they reach their goal in 10 months, then they will have 2 more years to keep tearing it down.

Does anyone out there actually own one of these and if so, is it such a poc that it's an everyday fixer upper or is it worth buying for lite duty work given the very low price?

It seems like they are copying the Echo CS-2511TN.

For those of you that have a shingle making jig for your sawmill, how thick is the butt of the shingle that it puts out? I've been fiddling with some bits and pieces and have a good start on a jig. I just don't know how thick to make them. I have kind of settled a step of 5/8" to end up with a half inch ish butt. I searched the forum and read some old threads but just didn't see a figure on how thick. I will post a picture tomorrow of the half finished project. I don't want to produce lots of shingles might need 5 square for what I'm planning just got the urge to try and do it. ffsmileyRead More
