Keith, I remember those slabbers and they were hard work and the cut was about three times as wide as the tungstan tiped blade in the mill. Although slower than a proper mill the timber is just as good and the latest model is much easier to ajust and use compares to the original.
Mike, the termites are becoming a problem here too and the only alternative for a bridge this long is steel.

It might be worthwhile applying some sump oil onto those bridge timber planks , every 6 months . Keep the termites at bay .

A chap down the road here made a access bridge for his property by felling a huge tree and placing it across the creek , he owned a D8 dozer at the time. The shire placed a sign on the road stating that "use this bridge at your own risk , its not our fault if you fall " . They said nothing about the huge tree he felled ! figure that out

Mike I might give the sump oil a try.
Working on the BBQ area again we finally have enough in the bank for the concrete. We are coming to a dead line as Greg will be 18 in February so we need it finished.

A step further today, half the area is ready for mesh.

At long last the floor has been poured and we used the BBQ area for boxing day lunch
