We had our peeler machine out there that we used to debark all the rough logs, our picket pointing machine, rip saws, cutoff saws, and boring and doweling machines. We were able to use the sawmill building that was already there, and build more storage areas on the side of the mill. I don't see it getting much bigger. We've had growth in this business every single year for the past 38 years. There are two large steel pole barns for the storage of lumber and other materials, and a yard for the numerous vehicles owned by the company.
Hart estimates that they have a million board feet of inventory in stock.
Although the company is open year round, six days a week, the business is somewhat seasonal, with the heaviest workload occurring during the summer and autumn, tapering off in the winter, then picking up again in the spring. I work like crazy during the construction seasons, and I'm grateful for the more relaxed pace in the winter. By that time, I'm ready for a break. But come spring, I'm raring to go again. The company offers several styles of cedar post and rail, chain link, PVC and privacy fencing.
