Wondering if we could cut our own plank flooring (???)<br /><br />Jane, agreed!<br /><br />Richard, there would definitely be some advantages to having old farm land to work with. OTHO, we love our trees!<br /><br />BRF, oh yes, it's a must-get! Especially if you have decent size trees. Sometimes they have to come down and might as well utilize them well. <br /><br />Mr. H, I'm sure she'll agree that you need one. :)<br /><br />Tree Hugger, good question. It's according to moisture content, and DH tells me there's a device / gadget / tool to measure that! Usually they aim for a maximum of 19%.<br /><br />CA Grammy, it's really exciting to be able to do this. It's a heartbreak to lose the trees, but this helps make up for it. <br /><br />Project Girl, and you need one!Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-42934761000022600172011-08-01T15:05:46.202-04:002011-08-01T15:05:46.202-04:00How totally cool is the Mini Mill?

But i do love trees and they definitely have their place. I lived in Florida where my home was surrounded by trees, needless to say it was a lot of leaves to pick-up during the year.
