I just went to your gallery.  glad to see all the large slabs you have made.  I was afraid you were jumping in over most peoples heads.  thanks for you and your wifes' service to our country.  I now have little concerns for you ability to pull this off.  @burdman_22

As far as the military moving us, there is a weight limit when they move us, and we would exceed that with like two slabs, haha. I think what I may end up having to do is find someone with a tractor trailer, load them all onto it and move them all to Kentucky in one go (since KY is going to be their home for the next 4-8 years).
Where are you currently stationed at, rucker, if your location in your is correct?

That's good to hear.
I've got a 60 incher buried deep, deep in a hand stacked pile. One day, when I'm dead and gone and my wife auctions off all my junk, someone will be really happy to see that slab.

That brings up a good point actually. What's the point of milling all this stuff if I can't even access it? I have no equipment to handle stuff. So once it's stacked -it ain't moving!

Here's the log


 

BTW, both of those boys are in their 20's now.
That's a great pic! It would be really cool to take a couple of the slabs from the log in the pic  that are around 42" wide and make dining room tables from them for your two sons in the pic!
Peterson 10" WPF with 65' of track
Smith - Gallagher dedicated slabber
Tom's 3638D Baker band mill
and a mix of log handling heavy equipment.

What a great idea, Scott! Thanks!
I do what the little voices in my wife's head tell me to do.
