A Barn to Home Renovation
Chris hired Rough Cut Portable Sawmill to create boards from the woodlands adjoining his parents' property which he planned to use in his renovation project. The oak trees that he harvested were from a piece of land where he grew up. Chris told us the story that he spent many hours in this wood lot hunting squirrels and deer, and cutting fire wood. He also told us the story that he worked on the woodlot owner’s dairy farm and became longtime friends with that family.
The white and red oak trees that Chris harvested were salvage logs from recent windstorms. The trees held a sentimental value for Chris, and he really wanted to use them in his renovations project.
He hired RCPS to mill oak stair stringer and treads for his barn renovation project. He wanted stringers that would be 19 feet long, 11.5 inches wide and 3 inches thick. He also wanted to do the stair treads out of the same material. The accompanying pictures show the pile of logs that we started with and the rough cut oak stringers that were produced. Chris also sent us pictures of his finished stairway.
RCPS was proud to be part of Chris’s project and we look forward to any other milling projects that he may need.
Thank you Chris we were privileged to be a part of your project!
