This is spooky… I stumbled on it using StumbleUpon. It’s a list of online background check resources in case you wanted to do a background check on yourself (or someone else). It’s really spooky how much info is out there about each of us.

Granberg Chainsaw Lumber Mill

Posted November 17th, 2009 by Michael Janzen and filed in Random

I spotted an ad in the back of an issue of Mother Earth News for a Granberg chainsaw lumber mill. It looks like a great way to turn fallen logs into lumber. I suspect what you don’t see in the video is that it would take a long time to cut up the log and you’d be spending some time now and then sharpening your chain… but it still seems like this would be a very useful (and relatively low cost) tool to have especially if you wanted to build a small or tiny house on a tight budget.
