From log to final form wood working. Portable sawmill service that can come to your home and process logs to lumber. I have 15+ years professional woodworking background and a full service woodworking shop. I build furniture, cabinets, and even acoustic instruments from locally processed lumber cut on my own sawmill. I believe honesty, professional counsel, and integrity in work ethic is necessary for accomplishing a task effectively. I have been satisfying customers for years with this simple model and philosophy: "If I wouldn't put it in my house, it shouldn't go in yours." Whether it be log processing to lumber, professional woodworking services, or the full "Log to final form" experience, I am here to help serve your needs. Thanks!

"I call him the wood working Jedi. We were building a sports bar and there was a lot of detailed woodwork. We would bring him the wood and he would cut it to the dimensions we needed. I was very happy with his services and he completed everything as requested."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

No rules state how much of a load-bearing wall can be removed. Rather, you need to adequately support any area that is removed. Support should always be added to as much wall area is being removed. Failing to support the area properly will result in structural damage.

You can use a nail to find ceiling joists, but it’s not as reliable as a stud finder, and you’ll end up with lots of small holes in your ceiling. If the nail hits a joist, you'll feel increased resistance. Mark the spot with a pencil. Repeat this process regularly along the ceiling, 16 or 24 inches apart, until you've mapped out the joist locations.

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.

Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you’ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. 

Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring a professional structural engineer and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.
