I want to turn this cherry beam into a mantel. The tree was felled three years ago but has ony been trimmed to size for a month Trimmed to length it will be 9' x 9" x 9" I was thinking of making my own kiln out of insulation board and a fan heater. I've seen youtube videos outlining the...

If your father does NOT have a regsitered POA then I suggest that you sort one out ASAP. In the event that your father may/will have some deterioration in his ability to manage a property portfolio as he ages then at some point he may need some point. The absolute worst-case scenario is that...
