Two Wise Men

Today work continued on the saw mill building and the raw tie stacks.

I finished the floor for the saw mill and test fitted it.  It is now ready for the footings.

The saw mill floor completed and being test fitted.

I also finished the first raw tie stack. I will do at least one more (which has already been started) and probably a few shorter stacks.

24 layers, 15 feet and 192 ties.

Finally two wise men (or maybe they were wise guys and they know who they are) paid a visit today bearing gifts.  I was not home but Marlene accepted the gifts.  We both thank the bearers of gifts and wish them a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

And just in case some of you are thinking I came up with steps in the tie stack idea, a photo of the prototype is shown below.
