Sawmill move


The sawmill has been stored over at a friends place for the past year. Friday I went to pick it up. It is about 20' long and weighs around 1400 pounds. I brought along some 20' poles and a come along to raise one end...






Then backed the trailer under it.



Then rolled the sawhead forward to tip it onto the trailer.



I used the tractor to unload it. 

Here are the 24x40 shop slab and wall framing materials. I am using 2x6x10 studs on 24" centers.

Everything is very icy right now. The slab is very slippery. I picked up a pair of Yaktrax which are metal grippers that attach to your shoes with elastic bands. They work great and were well worth the money.
