Shaking my head. Sawmill in Livingston (sistermill to Townsend mill which closed before burning down by arson) almost fully recovered before burning again this week. If this was a mining operation M.S.H.A. among other agencies would have banned it by now. At some point: uninsurable, one would think. The company closed our mill in Townsend - big mistake. Wrong mill.
Banning a certain new member on the other site. May be find a place that thinks he's as clever as he thinks he is. I don't know why they try. They're obvious from the word go and no matter how much time you give them, they just can't stop with the gaslighting, fallacies, and whatever else.
A bunch of mills closing down up this way as well. Pellets, dimensional, pulp. The access to timber is getting tighter.
Official closure today. 70 laid off. Lot of "Aw shucks" sentimentality in the newspaper for a company that literally burned itself down.
Went for a run today. I had planned a 10k route but my fitness watch has monthly challenges, and one of them for this month was to run a 15k. The sun was warm and the weather less gusty than the forecast said so I rerouted and did 15k instead. My legs don't like me very much right now.
A bit more wrecking today. I took down a light fitting and the rest of the plaster around the light fitting. Now I've got a load of laths holding the nasty cellulose insulation between the ceiling joists. The next step (for another day) is to pull down the laths, then gather up the piles of cellulose, replace them with nice new fiberglass, and bag up the cellulose for removal. Once that's done I can look at finally fitting some soundproofing material to the walls and ceilings. Looking at a wide open space has given us some more ideas of what we might do with the space. We've always leaned towards one way of laying out the upstairs but now we're thinking of doing something slightly different. But it would involve getting rid of a little space which, while it's not a whole lot of use in and of itself, does seem like a kinda neat space to keep hold of. I'm starting to think this might be the year I actually get to make some meaningful steps forward. It's long overdue...
