  Just saw a little blurb on tv about a big sawmill fire in MI, must be big to hit national news.

Apparently it will not slow or stop any currant business, this was a new building and equipment for an expansion, that it sounds like they hadn't completed yet.

That's too bad. But if they rebuild,they can upgrade.

Upgrade. The article I read claimed it was a new expansion that has not even gone on line yet that burnt, I just assumed it was an upgrade.
