Melvin built my cabin near Cozahome with a chainsaw and rough cut lumber over 40 years ago and it's still standing strong, with lots of character. I can't say that I knew Melvin personally, but feel as though I did.

Melvin was sure a nice person and he sure made my lumber right when he owned the saw-mill because I paid him what he told me to pay him and the lumber is still holding out today I built a shed out of it and my family still put my wood in it during the winter time we moved into town and it is better for us now! I am going to miss him because no one can do the same work he could he was the best on Earth to us.Thank-You Mr. Collins for living on this planet and we hope to see you again my friend someday God bless the family of Mr. Collins too..
