I guess it's a start

I got outback and cleared some of the snow

After a few measurements looks like I got just enough room to do about an 8' lean-to to the side of the pole barn

I have a few trees to clear out but not to many

Still a lot of snow out back

The weather forecast is not looking great but I am hoping many to get started withing the next few weeks on clearing trees.
On another note I understand my electrical a little better now. When you order the LT15 with 10hp electric it comes with the starter motor/switch already installed....just gotta run the wire.

I see the power entrance is right close by. ;) I have no idea about how the mill is set up or where you want it. I was able to put mine so I am facing the house. I can see when someone is coming down to help me saw. :

:D Big difference in the snow,I have just about bare ground and the mud is real close now. I have no idea what you want under the mill to walk on. I brought in gravel to put my mill on. There is a member here that made a wood floor for his mill to rest on and easier to walk on to he says. He put a roof over the whole thing.

Nice looking place you've got there kingcha!

Make that mill a nice little home!

I was not sure the other day if I would build free standing or attached. Now that I have gotten back there and looked it over, I know I can just attach it to the pole barn. It will run parallel to the pole barn. It will make my electrical run shorter and cheaper. I would love to build a wood floor but I think at this point I will wait on that. Just having a roof will be nice. This being the back 40(25) I don't have a house back here yet, someday. Yeah I will not be able to see Helpers :D coming. I plan to put my post about 7-1/2' from the barn with a 18' span between. I hope this will give me enough room. It will give me a 36" walk way between the track and the barn.

Ty Chuck I love my outback, complete with coverage picnic area, Kitchen area, fire pit & a wood-fired pizza oven I built last year
