BBozak the Beam Guy

Welcome! Watch us as we build a house and post and beam horse barn on a wooded lot we bought in Maine. We started building the house and sawmill shed in 2020, then the barn in 2021 and in 2023 we're working on the 3-bay garage. The house is a combination of timber frame and traditional framing techniques. Videos show the whole process from cutting down the trees, milling the lumber and go all the way through to building the actual house. Check out the different Playlists for videos by topic including the whole house project, the horse barn build, tips on using a WoodMizer LT40 sawmill, repairs I've done to my Hitachi excavator, videos relating to haying and hay equipment, and other miscellaneous jobs we do to get our small homestead established. If you are interested in possibly sawing your own logs, you can see a one-hour video on the basics of how to use a sawmill. Find it in the "How To" playlist as well as the WoodMizer Sawmill playlist.
