Thread: home milling on your own property?

Another option is, after you purchase your property, purchase a lucas mill or a mill of your choice and let it be known that you're willing to mill timber in return for some logs to be logged by you into whatever dimensions you wish. After you've built your hacienda, you've still got a mill to work with. You'll spend more money on a steel shed and slab than you would on a mill and the various attachments. Milling the timber and constructing the timber shed and/or abode is pure pleasure and satisfaction not a chore.
Personally I'd leave the control freaks ( sorry I meant to say shire/council, state authorities etc etc) out of the picture. I think you'd be setting yourself up for stomach ulchers.
Oh and get yourself something remote where chainsaws are the norm not sunday driven ride on mowers.
