Dreams In Sawdust: Two Young Builders in Aiken County
Robert Gardner and Alex Holland, 23 and 21, long time friends from Aiken County, run G and H Cleaners a sandblasting and cleaning firm now expanding into a sawmill. They mill walnut and cherry logs into boards, plan to build houses, and credit their success to faith and help from friends. The operation runs about 13 hours daily, with five men and Ted Scott teaching them to run the century old mill. They estimate 400 boards daily from logs shaped into square lumber, while planning to sell the premium wood and improve the mill for further growth.
