I live in Brunswick. Shit got bad. All local trails were devastated, land i care for in harpswell a granite seawall got tossed on front yard. Very, very bad storm. I been here 40 years and its the worst ive seen.
Trying to mark and remove fir with butt rot is a never ending guessing game. With a band mill, there is still a limit to using smaller stems. Then you need a project to use up the milled material, then another and another.....
The bigger one is bigger than it looks--about 10 inches on the butt. But yeah, I don't expect to get to much from them. I do have some projects in mind, however.
In the southern part of the state we have invasives, but up north it isn't a big problem. As for grouse habitat, again down south there are some areas with a shortage of early successional habitat, so yeah, maybe they can benefit from some of the disturbances.

Really love your channel, learning so much from you
Value adding with your own mill is a resilience investment. It gives you options other than selling on the raw timber market.
Just found your stuff bub. Good stuff I’m down south just a bit. Working on getting my saw mill and land cleared now

You’re going to enjoy milling your own lumber. What mill did you buy?
But what will you do with the lumber you mill?
Will this storm be good for grouse? Do you have a problem with invasive plants in Maine?
