My logger started yesterday cutting the spot for my new shack . I think it's going to be 20x32. With a 8'shed off the front for wood storage. Hoping to end up with about 6 thousand feet of Hemlock to have milled out this month so I can start framing in August. Going to cut out as much pulp wood as I can around the Maples on my lot & the neighbors lot so hopefully I will get more out of these trees in the future. Going to leave the oak & ash & yellow birch that's good, taking out most of the pinew, Hemlock beech and white birch.

Sure is nice to see some saw logs on the ground.

In my design I left the south wall open to expansion and planned for 18,000 gallons of storage at the sugar house with just the bulk heads sticking into the building to save space. The initial plan is for 4,000 but will ramp up to 10,000 in the next 5 years.
