How to use locally cut timber
Goal of this task
The goal is to find out if locally cutting timber is a viable option to use for construction in the plot. Currently we are mostly interested in floor planks cut from spruce of pine.
After we know more we can make a decision if we should do it our self, we buy cutting as a service, or buy lumber from a store.
