1st day Working at the sawmill

What happens here

The team realizes that for the "butt and pass" log cabin style, all logs need to be of a consistent width. To address the varying natural widths of the logs, they decide to sort them into batches of specific widths (e.g., 6-inch, 8-inch, 10-inch, 12-inch). This approach allows for easier construction by ensuring each row of the cabin uses uniformly sized logs. They then use the skid steer to load the logs onto the trailer, ready for transport.

Goal: Organize logs for consistent width milling
