Loggers Dale and Isabelle are back in the bush for more logs.

It was difficult to estimate the number of logs necessary to supply all of the dimensioned lumber. Think of estimating for a house construction project, when 2x6's can at least be counted. How many 2x6's would come from a mixture of logs? There had been no experience with the new sawmill and none of the partners were experienced log scalers. The initial estimates were close, but before the project was over, another trip to the bush was made for more logs.

With the winter cat roads gone, logging was restricted to the proximity of the few permanent roads. However, only a small number of additional logs were required and an ample supply of accessible trees were found.
