Leaving for Congo
« on: April 10, 2012, 05:48:48 PM »
It have been a while since I posted something here. Nothing special has happened this winter.
I have now planned a trip to Congo and will be there for the next 4 month or more.
Hoping to organize the sawmill better. Need to look for a larger market than we have today.
The MD sawmill is not even working as hard as it can. It has to steam. I guess we are using just 30 % of the MD's capacity.
We are also working on the transportation issue. Need a larger tractor for pulling huge logs and a 15-20 ton capacity truck for transporting the lumber to our central depot.

I will update you as soon as I'm back again. There is now internet connection down there.
