Sawmills

[Slippy]

Sounds like the situation and pine species is an issue where the OP lives, but I have had good success in remote areas in the north with spruce, fir and lodgepole pine ................. far, far away from stores and lumberyards ............ with a chainsaw. An Alaska mill or a Granberg mill attaches to the chainsaw and you can turn out pretty damn good dimensional lumber and beams with them. Yes the end result is rustic, not like planed and kiln dried wood, but with a sharp saw you would be surprised at how good the end result can be once you gain a bit of experience.
