Sawmill from scratch

[surveyor]

Saw this on Arbtalk and it is too good not to share. My Grandad had a sawmill that he operated in the Minnesota woods. Mom says they had a portable tar paper house he would load on his worktruck and move from site to site.

Something of major impression. Thanks for that surveyor.

A "portable tar paper house", what is that?

Sounds like a fishing shanty to me

from Moms description, it was actually a tiny small frame house that their whole family ( she had two brothers and a sister) would live in while grandad was milling lumber.
