[EZland]

It is not the years, its the mileage AND some of us have been driving in four wheel low lock our whole lives.  Those are some hard miles.

  hope all is good with everyone

[fishpharmer]

Steve, good to see you back here.  Trusses sure can be important.

[paul case]

I had the same problem with not enuf trusses when I built my house, but since I sawed the lumber and nailed them together, I just sawed out a couple more, after I fetched the logs of course.

Hang in there Steve.

I've been hanging in there Steve. The usual- machinery repairs, vehicle repairs, house repairs, getting ready for winter, etc., etc. :( Then finding time to work on the mill. I should be back on track shortly and hopefully will post up some more progress photos.  Can't wait to see all the new machines to fill that nice shop. ;)

[steve phillips]
