[Gristmillers] mill to rebuild

[Faber McMullen]

I'm rebuilding mine out of cypress now because those were the timbers  
that I had.  I was told by John down in Louisiana to line the corners  
with
tin as the cypress is rather soft, so that's what I'll do.  Cypress is  
somewhat like pine so I wasn't afraid of it.

Later,
