This past year was a busy one for the sawmill crew and not just with sawing.
This video captures our Morton Building being constructed;
Plus, Linda and the sawmill crew busy doing their part before and after.

I have read every comment and am in awe of how much wonderful feedback everyone has given! THANK YOU, EVERYONE! I would love to respond to every comment, but have decided that a blanket message will have to suffice, at least for the time being.
I will include a couple of answers to the most common questions:
1.Post Frame buildings, at least in our area, generally have the concrete slab placed after the building is erected. Stick frame buildings are the opposite, because the walls are anchored to the concrete stem wall (footing with stub wall) foundation, not a post.
2.Footings have to reach below the "frost line" and 4 feet is common for our area. Although, on a recent, very cold winter, we had reports of frost as far down as 6.5 feet.
3.The Morton building company uses their own lumber (Southern Yellow Pine, that does not grow locally). Realistically speaking, though, Pine framing lumber is generally cheaper from the bulk suppliers than we can buy the logs for, and then we would still have to mill it.
4.I hurt my shoulder when using the "drag back tool" and was unable to pull back with a rake for the rest of the summer.
Thanks again, EVERYONE, for watching and supporting my channel! Linda :)
