Cops Came to Investigate Veteran's Farm! Heartbreaking disbelief
What happens here
The video shifts to the owner operating a portable sawmill, specifically a Wood-Mizer LT40, to mill logs into lumber. He uses a chainsaw (Stihl brand visible) to cut logs to length before loading them onto the sawmill with a tractor equipped with forks. He then operates the saw to cut rough lumber. This segment reinforces his commitment to self-sufficiency and the 'tools' aspect of his philosophy, while also touching on regulations concerning the use of self-milled lumber for residential construction in North Carolina.
Goal: Process raw logs into usable lumber for potential future construction or farm projects.
