Steve,
I feel yer pain... I really do.
Not sawmill related, persay... Been working on a stock trailer for the FIL. One thing led to another and next thing you know, 3 days are gone along w/ several hundred bucks.
I would have gladly had a deck of the crappiest, crooked, knotty, petrified hickor.... well maybe not that bad.
LOL I did have some sawing I needed to do, along with firewood. Didn't happen.
