Woodmills1, What town did the barn go up in? I didn't know that there was any open land left down your way. Scott_R
Thats gotta be one of the perks of sawing the way you guys saw. Even after the millions of board feet I have sawn, I would be hard pressed to go out and point to something and know that I was the one that sawed the lumber. There are only a handfull of places I can do that. :-[
Great work Woodmills!
yes it is very cool and rewarding to know that I cut the trees and sawed the timbers for that barn. It went up on the milford ahmerst line one twon west odf Nashua. and you are right, open land is becoming very scarce around here. my customer owns a piece of a car dealership and was able to secure this nice lot with a horse farm and gentlemans farm next door. I live one town east of Nashua on 85 acres with over 2000 acres of undeveloped land around me, but it is one of the last sections. house lots are $100,000 with a view up to $170,000.

Looking good Jim and not a cloud in the sky.
