Steamboat, CO

Using his LT40 Super Hydraulic, Rick Pighini was able to mill and build 10 rental cabins for a customer, saving the customer 35% on the cost of lumber. In total, 124,205 board feet was sawn. He notes that, thanks to the portability of his Wood- Mizer, he was able to saw at the future location of the cabins for 16 months which enabled him to get any lumber he needed right away.

Rick says, "The project has been praised by all of those in the community who have seen [the cabins.] This not only enabled more affordable housing in our expensive, world-class ski town, but also some of the nicest rental properties around."
