Here's som pics from today and about 2 weeks ago from some hemlock I've been cutting to get sawn into boards for a bridge project. Our snow all melted earlier this week but the temps dropped back down Into the 20s last night and today and made it nice with no snow and the ground is nice and stiff. Tomorrows temps are going to be around a high of 30 here so I plan on getting a few more trees down an logs out

What are you building for a bridge Andy ??
Do you have Wooly Aldegid in your hemlock out there. We have them in the southern part of the state but not up here yet. One reason I wish it was colder. They say the cold might keep them away. Seems like everyone is cutting hemlock now.

i haven't seen the woolly adelgid yet here, I hope I dont as I have a lot of nice hemlock in my woods. I'm using the hemlock for redecking a steel framed walking bridge that is 76" wide by 300' long so I'm going to need quite a bit of lumber

While I was at work, my wife used the tractor to move firewood to the porch before the big ice storm this weekend.

I think my wife has only used my tractor 2 or 3 times while I was away, but I thought it was the coolest thing when she did :laughing:

Sounds like you'll need 4000 BF or more for 2" decking - maybe ?? That will keep you busy a while. How do you get it sawn up ? Your own mill ?

I hope you'll start a thread with progress photos on your bridge.

I am going to have them sawn at 3" thick since they span the width of the bridge and doesn't really have any support in the center . A very good friend of mine lives across the street and has a band saw mill that will turn the logs to lumber for me and I will probably trade him some logs for his services since he is looking to build a sawmill shed.

I post a few pictures of the bridge , it was originally built in the 1950s , it is a steel trestle frame bridge that spans a 300 ft gully that's about 50 ft deep
