Major upgrading program
obvious to wholesaler and mill customers of Rolando are the many changes in the yard and mill. Most of the 90 acres have been completely regraded, solid fill has been added, and new drainage ditches and sumps have been installed.
This work has virtually eliminated the mud holes and pools of water that used to develop in the winter. Two hundred and fifty thousand square feet of the area adjacent to the mill, kilns, and storage area are being black topped. This will enable Rolando to handle, mill and ship lumber quicker and cleaner.
A new shed has been built where the car loading crew operates to store and prepare dry lumber for shipment. The old green chain building, a hold-over from the original sawmill that was the first occu- pant of the property, has been torn down and new dry sheds are going up along the dike road that separates the yard from the Russian River.
