Made headway on siding of tool shed (pics below), and today went back to mill site for what's hopefully the last load of boards. Took 15 back today. You guys probably know this trick already, but I've recently started milling only three sides of a can't then slicing boards from the top down. Saves a cut overall, also helps avoid any irregularities/kerf loss in the last board of the cant.

Thanks Rearview, it's been a fun project to help me get around the learning curve of chainsaw lumbermaking.
 
What's neat is that some of my earliest milled lumber made its way in there, so with a keen (and in some cases not so keen) eye you can see the evolution of the work, quality of finish/smoothness and the like.
