Loading Them Up


Sorry for the length of time in between blog posts. We have been hugely busy, with a lot of big orders, and with figuring out the logistics of crating and shipping big beams. Here are some pics of us loading up our order to Dallas last week. We crated up a bunch of gigantic beams, the longest was 25 feet long!

7 big crates, 3 of which had beams tucked into beams...10 beams total



Y'all have a good week.

Abandoned Places

Here at The Olde Mill, we use old pine that we get from torn down factories that are at least 100 years old. This blog post is a bit of a tangent, but we wanted to look at some interesting abandoned places. They are full of history, make for great photos, and seem somehow haunted by a trace of human life.

old beams!
 

 

 

Urban Exploration

Have you heard of urban exploration? It's the exploration of old, usually abandoned, structures, often times involving somewhat illegally entering, and lots of photos. There's a whole subculture of it on the internet. Even Baton Rouge has a blog based on urban exploration, Abandoned Baton Rouge.
