Hi All, just thought I'd post a few pix of the begining of my kiln. Got 22 2x4's and 4 4x4's out of that log.

I guess they let you build structures out of timber you mill yourself even if it isn't certified? There was a thread on here not too long ago concerning this. Here it PA (NJ also) they won't pass the inspection unless the lumber is stamped. Don't get me wrong... if I were king, you could build your house with lumber you (or any body else) milled, no problems. I guess we live too close the city here. A friend of mine looked into milling some pine logs into 2x framing lumber for a shed. The local building inspector got wind of it and personally informed him that he couldn't legally pass the structure unless it was built from certified stamped lumber.
NICE lumber by the way, looks like some great building material.
Who are these building inspectors you speak of?:hmm3grin2orange:
P.S. I have added four out buildings since living here and not a word has been said, nor have my taxes gone up. Sooo.... i'm gonna shut up and hope for the best.
lol, Building inspectors...we don't need no stinking building inspectors

Building application fee
permit fee
survey fee
inspection fee
coffee/donut fee
taxes on each structure
interest on loss of county revenue
citation for failure to get permission fee
back interest on all fees
total to date............$5,698.03.
Al Gore's "Build Green" tax credit $ 5,698.02.
Saving us from the extra paperwork ..... priceless
You are a pillar in the community, keep up the good work.
How do you like your mill? I am looking at a Norwood Lumbermate myself and am very interested. How is yours specced out?
Thanks
and.. keep the pics coming!
Hi Wismer, I am tickled to pieces with my mill. It does everything they say it will do. Mine has the briggs 23hp and an 11' extension I made out of steel, giving me a 23' capacity. I made my trailer package as well. I went mobile for awhile and decided, I like it better at home. Once you get it tuned in, it cuts like a dream. Very True cuts.
Could you post some pictures of that extention? My father is about to purchase a manual mill and the Norwood is on the list.
