Question 1

DO YOU USE TREATED LUMBER?

Accepted Answer

We use ground contact 4″ x 6″ timbers for the skids under our building. All the rest of our framing lumber is kiln dried Standard and Better Douglas Fir, the best framing lumber available anywhere. It’s much stronger than “white wood” lumber (spruce, white pine, etc.), and holds the nails much better. And it won’t twist and warp like southern yellow pine.
