It's a slow process Magicman when you are a 1 man crew for the most part.
Skeets you are correct but it doesn't matter, it gives me something to do and not get bored.

I understand, that plus it being remote from your home.
It took me 2 1/2 years to do mine and it was only 46 miles away.

It will take a bit longer for me mostly due to the covid lumber price hikes. I pretty much didn't do anything on it for 10 months at one point. Momma is on my butt to get it finished now lol.

I have a big framing lumber sawmilling job to do this month in Meadville.
A total of 40 Pine logs like these and all in the 22" - 26" top end category. This will save the customer a bundle of $$$.

That’s not funny Skeets lol
Yea that will save a ton of money. If I had somewhere out of the weather to dry them I could have done the same. I just cut them down and burn them in the campfire. Probably have 40 or so to eventually get out of my food plots. I cut and split 4-5 a year for campfire wood.

Progress for the day. Got my 92 year old father inlaw as my helper this week.

Front deck is mostly done except for some trim work. Going buy material for the back deck tomorrow morning and get started on that.

Finished the back yesterday around noon. I will start making a material list for the roofs and start that before too long.

I see it’s been a while since this was talked about, but I’m curious how things turned out with the camp setup. Did the BX hold up for all you were doing? I’m thinking about a similar project and wondering if your setup handled the clearing and hauling jobs over time. Any surprises or things you’d do differently now?
