We can hear in your voice how exhausted you were, it is a huge sacrifice of your time and resources. I hope you know we all appreciate you saving this history, there will be schools taking field trips to see what your crew has done, I'm sure. I am amazed how you always find a way to get the job done and make it look easy, great job.

Y'all were down in our neck of the woods in Bertie County at the old Thompson's saw mill. I recognized it immediately and showed my wife. She said that engine was running years ago when She was riding the school bus, She's 64 now. That engine is a piece of history in Bertie County, glad you are saving it !

Jonathan, I am going to try my level best to keep this comment short. I was but just thirteen back when I was helping Rocky Wilson and his wife with their pack horses. The Forest Service had paid him to remove a steam engine from its location in the upper cascade mountains. I remember so very little except the name of the mine was the Skagit Queen and it was a Lead and Silver mine. I am commenting on this just because of this flywheel. It had a eight foot flywheel and our ever grateful moment was that it was built in pieces. So even that said, It came apart in six large pieces and was so heavy that we built special packs for the horses to use two horses per parts of this flywheel. Now we only had to go thirteen miles back in that mountain, but Jonathan, it took almost three full long and hard days to do this. I so wish I could go back in time and video this. I ain't never been more serious in my life

Well done. In 2001 I saved a 12X18 HSG Class F automatic from an east Texas sawmill site. It was in really bad shape. After some thought it was donated to a local county farm museum. HSGs were commonly used in cotton gins in north Texas. Hauling a steam boiler home earlier this year some moron in pickup truck tossed something out at me and I lost a trailer tire. I presume it was some sort of road spike.

Back in my twenties ( 67 now) I used to go in and salvage grain mills and wooden grain elevators with a small crew strictly for the salvage value of it. 70 -80 year old timber from the buildings along with all the corrugated tin on the roofs and sides which looked like new on the down side and it all sold easily. The grain hammer mills were pretty well worn so they went for scrap prices. It was really hard work but fun. We also did barns and corn cribs when people wanted them removed because barn siding and support beams were a huge seller as well.
