    Yea I don't see why not. Especially if they're the same size/layout joining the roofs would be easy. A good handy or framer could do it regardless of size

    Woke up this morning with a plan in my mind, Gonna mill my own lumber, gonna work that grind. Got my chainsaw roaring, and my mill set up right, Turning logs into lumber, by the morning light. Milling my own lumber, it's a labor of love, From the forest to the workshop, it's like hand in glove. Every cut and every plank, tells a story so true, Milling my own lumber, it's what I love to do.

    Nice job. I discovered your channel by looking up rough sawn lumber videos. I’m milling my own lumber for my shop build. Check it out. You’re doing amazing work! I’ll keep watching. Watch out for your back! Lift and bend with your legs. It takes getting used to, but it’s better than a blown back. Take care.

    I'm hoping to get one of these soon... I've got a lot of standing timber that I want to turn into a cabin, among other things, but I don't want round logs, I want beams & boards... this particular make & model I like much better than the Harbor Freight mill, not that there's too much wrong with theirs, but this one's still in the doable range & I like the design better... certainly a thorough demonstration...🖖🏿😎👍🏿

    Hi, I'm a thumbnail expert. I visited your KZread channel for free. You have uploaded many videos. Your videos are very nice. But your video doesn't have good thumbnails. If your video thumbnail is good, you will get more views and subscribers Which is very important for your channel I will create your first thumbnail for free. Let me work on the thumbnails if that's okay. Let me know if you want nice thumbnails. Thank you.

    Instead of flipping your log to 90 degrees just flip it 180 degrees. More stable to saw. The sides will be parallel. The rotate the log 90 degrees and set it against the log stops. I made log stops with a steel roller on the top. Much easier to roll the log. Won't get caught on the log stop edge that comes with the mill.
