So, obviously, my enthusiasm for posting about nearly every milling job has dropped off in the past few months. I thought that it was all getting a bit repetitive. But I don't intend to give up on the blog altogether. The nature of the posts will probably continue to evolve over time.
The big news prompting this post is my decision to quit my 'day job' and make CT Logs To Lumber, LLC a full time business. Here we go!
I've been more successful running the business as a 'weekends only' operation in 2010 than I had hoped. My first job came in March, and I milled on 42 days after that, not counting my day at the Coventry Farmer's Market. By the beginning of September, I had a waiting list of customers that
would take me until after Thanksgiving to work my way through.
At this point I started to have discussions with my wife about bringing my career as a computer programmer to an end, and starting to run the sawmill business full time. She wasn't very hard to convince. In early October I told my boss that I would be leaving at the end of the year. The move from the high tech world to running a sawmill left many of my coworkers scratching their heads. My last day at work was actually December 29th. The full time business is off and running.
We are a portable sawmill service based in Coventry Connecticut serving the entire state, and this is our web log (blog). Here we post notes and pictures about some of our milling jobs, and other significant events in the life of our sawmill and business.
