Logs to Lumber






Down here in the fine neighborhood in which Mississippi Wood Trader resides, we have been making a giant mess. But it is a good mess and it is for a good cause. Out on Mount Paran in Atlanta is a jobsite where a new house is being built. They needed to cut down trees in order to provide space for said house. Now here is where Mississippi Wood Trader comes in. They, being a earth conscious green couple, felt bad about the destruction of these really old trees. Mississippi Wood Trader to the rescue! We are taking the trees that needed to come down and turning them into lumber for their new house. We have been steadily cutting logs to size, making them into cants and finally turning them into lumber. It is quite a busy, fun project. Here are some photos of what we have been up to so far in the month of September....Oh and another thing, I may have painted the forklift with pink polka dots. She is beautiful and her name is Helga.
