Pricing out a woodmill. Seeing if its worth it or not. About $3800.
Got ten trees, pine, that will need to come down. They're within striking distance of the house. Six of them have to be 100'. Four are about 80'.
Circumferences range from 63" to 28".
Using a few calculators and Excel, I've got a total of 7414 board feet. Now that's a rough estimate.
I clear an area for a shop, I probably have another thirty 50'rs with circumferences of 20" to 40". So not as big as the ones by the house. But, we'll ignore those for right now.
Got a little online calculator here for board foot costs. I only found one CL listing and it had pine at $.65/board foot. But its over a month old.
$.70/board foot, 7414 board feet, and it comes to ~$5200. Call it $4500 on the conservative side.
That sound about right?
