I'll be following you now to check out your progress on the sawmill and homestead. I'm in the Pacific Northwest and establishing a homestead here. I've been thinking about framing in a house with round logs instead of milling them. Been learning methods and such this winter so I can hit it hard when the ground thaws after winter.

Are you using cedar posts? I understand that if you trim off the white woods, and char the red Heartwood; you can get very long life from a ground contact post. I'll be building some of this framing for some of the buildings I need.
The farm home companion, and papa pepper have videos on this type of construction.
The chain saw milling is only to get pieces small enough to fit my regular woodworking equipment, and to make large structure members! BUT it doesn't need to be milled on everything, some will be stronger if not milled. Be sure to remove the bark, to avoid insect problems later!
BD blessed!
