The sawmill visits again

We have run out of some certain size and quality timber boards, planks and beams so we needed to cut some trees down again from the top of the hill close by to our new house. This happened in the late winter. Then we had a log moving machine to move all the logs to my dads field where we had the portable saw mill visiting for a week.

 This is the pile of wood before cutting them. 400 logs from 3.1m to 6.1m lengths. 

It took almost five days in total to cut these.

 Here is the pile of cut boards stacked for drying. It took about six days to stack them.

They will still be covered and left to dry for a year or two. On the right there is beams for a sauna to be built by the lake.

We had the saw mill cut 17 different size of timbers. In Finland it is cheaper to get boards and beams this way than go to the shop to buy them, that is if you have your own forest.
