Hey everyone. Been a while since I have been by..I'm curious in what you haven been up too there willandhelen. We took the class a while ago, built a log home, then I built a 16x24 foot shed using...
Don't know about poplar, but they do seem to like southern yellow pine. We have noticed them this year and they have bored two holes in my stained rafters (4 x 12's) and at least five holes in the...
My wife and I have visited and Shark's place is great looking inside and out. They have much to be proud of.
We are building down in NW Florida -- have the roof up and will be staining in the next...
R value will vary based on wood species. It is typically around 1 an inch but that is no exact figure. I have seen a table somewhere but don't remember where it was.

And anything else is blasphemy. You FRY it.

MM,
It's a bit of a trip, but you're welcome anytime to stop by the Redneck Riviera. I might even be able to rustle up some deer backstrap, corn on the cobb, potatoes and okra. Sorry, not a member...
Seriously, MM, not to doubt you, but have you checked your eyesight lately? My ridgepole, which is a longleaf pine off our property, was 19" at the butt after we cut it and 103 years old if I recall...
If I were you I would be inclined to go with it and then monitor it closely over the next year or so to make sure it was working correctly. You are not bringing dirt up to the logs..you are bringing...
Rachel,
I read the entry yesterday. It is a great tribute to someone who was a great man.
Do not hesitate to let everyone know when you are going to be working. Even if you don't "need" help let us...
On the one hand, clearly you all need to go out and work on your houses some as you have too much free time on your hands.
On the other hand ... very funny. .

Tampaloghome,
We are building in northwest FL. Should finish the walls this weekend. Termites, and pest control in general, are talked about in the class. They are an issue, but one that can...
There's a number of them. Four main ones: slash, Loblolly, shortleaf and longleaf. In my opinion loblolly and longleaf are the two best.

Captn,
We are building with syp (southern yellow pine). Most of it is loblolly, with some slash mixed in to fill things out. Would I do it again? Yes, if I needed to do so. There is nothing...

It could be humidity in the air. My parents have a wood stove that was installed in '74 or '75 ?and for years it has had brownish areas on it that I would call the first stage of rust. This is in NW...
A cowboy named Mark was overseeing his herd in a remote
mountainous pasture in California when suddenly a brand-new BMW
advanced toward him out of a cloud of dust.
The driver, a young...
I will be putting a 10' porch around both guest house and the main house.

120' of well, the tank and pump and a concrete cap cost $2750.
We are getting 30 gallons a minute of water.
?Good thing about living in Florida, the water table isn't very far down...
My 12 year old son is tasked with the dog house in addition to helping us with the guest house (in progress) and then the main house.

Just to be clear...I was not saying that Mr. Rock doesn't help. He is a huge help quite frequently and one of the big reasons this forum is so successful. My doubt was that he had been to MS looking...
I don't think Mister Rock gets out of Washington and Oregon very much..I could be mistaken but just my impression :)
I believe you will find what you are looking for if you just take some time. It's...
And that would be why I said "after the class". :)??

After you head out for the class in October you can swing over my way if you would like for a day or two. I will hopefully be past the walls and working on the floors and roof at that point, but any...
See dgc..i told you others would rather use bigger logs....you will find that there are always multiple ways to doing things, multiple opinions and nothing wrong with any of them .. well most of the...
