An amazing yard, a through back to the days when even quite few yards, mill houses were so equipped to run specialized faces. Quite an impressive operation. I live on the eastern shore and consider a resource such as Portsmouth Lumber, a valued commodity.

As always, they had the odd-sized lumber that I needed for repairs on an old house. Also they were very helpful and nice to work with, as usual. Thanks.
