Just a quick note late at night. Things went well today! We got more people to hewing and those with two days experience did much better. We also got the pitsawing on line, which means a great relief to those in charge of production. This means more timbers out of one log, which means less chopping into huge logs. If this sounds pathetic to the experienced timber converter, then my hats off to you. Because this is a lot of work, no matter how you go about it.

So just in time for the first students arriving we've at least got a little bit of game to feel confident about. If the weather holds we'll do just fine. Meanwhile we're having a really good time. More tomorrow. With pictures.
