My uncle owned a sawmill and I was another source of cheap labor for 
him.  It was usually winter work, cold and wet to fell the trees and skid 
them to a common point.  Then he would bring in the mill where I mostly 
worked moving the lumber to the truck.  I also rolled logs onto the 
carriage and turned logs on the carriage.  Hard brute labor but I was young 
at the time.
