Creating a Sustainable Homestead in the 21st Century isn’t as hard as you might think, and it’s due to the New Technology that’s being implemented every day now. Otis’ Barn is a Net Generator of Electricity and the Power Companies meter charges ($12/mo) are being absorbed by the Surplus Kwhs. See how the latest energy saving devices are being applied on the Homestead to save on the energy bills, specifically targeting Contractors & DIY…
Located just north of Pittsburgh, Otis' Barn was constructed in 2010 at #6 Blackburn Farm and houses Wood, Metal, and Automotive Machine Shops as well as an A/V Sound Stage. Since 2015, it has also become the cyber home of CM Services once the offices closed at 506 Valleybrook Road in Peters Twp. Otis’ Barn now houses the Half-Fast Speed Shop relocated from the Bridgeville Hot Rod Shop after the 2018 flood...

Walnut, Red Oak & Cherry air-dried flitches in stock
Please see our inventory of Oak, Walnut and Cherry Free Edge Slabs and rough-cut lumber. These logs were band-saw cut 2 1/2" and 2" thick and lengths from 4 to 10 feet. The band mill rough cut is smooth enough for most to sand without planing.
