Framing and Siding with Green Lumber -- How does everything look after 8 months?

  • It's been about 8.5 months since I finished my sawmill shed, and I wanted to revisit things and look at all the lumber after it's had time to dry out. We take a look at the framing lumber and talk about how to accommodate shrinkage with posts and beams. Then we look at the board and batten siding, talking about grain orientation and fastener strategies, and see how it behaved just like it's supposed to. You can build with green lumber if you take a few simple steps to ward off common problems.

    Fantastic job. Thanks for the tips on green lumber. I am in the process of building a 12 x 12 cabin and will be using yellow pine B and B siding.

    I love the fact that you did a retrospective review. I really like your design and I will be copying much of it when I build my sawmill shed this fall. Thank you again for great work! 👍

    Everything I read/see online about the cupping/smiling thing is the exact opposite of what I saw on the last video. It drives me nuts since I'm trying to learn lol

    That’s such a great job. Love the shed. Thank you for the tips. My parents and I are building a shed this spring, and I love that style. I’ll definitely send this to the boss. 🥰 Thanks again!

    It was great to find out the history and purpose of board & batten siding. I buy green lumber from my local sawmill and I’ve never known this.

    Love the advice about how to Install the boards with the growth rings "smiling" outwardly and only mailing the center rather than the edges. And I live the old traditional board and baton style siding. Super simple

    What a brilliant video. Thank you so much for this articulate and informative explanation, the narration and camera work were impeccable.

    Your video and commentary are excellent. I learned a lot about how to use green lumber correctly. I will be getting a ban saw mill next year and I plan to build a saw mill shed like yours. Thanks.

    Thanks for doing an update on how using the green lumber has worked for you. I just bought a sawmill and once I get it together I want to build a shed for it. I love the board and baton style. Thanks for the info on which way to place the boards. That is something I did not know. Thanks again.

    I always put deck boards down with the cup facing down. Kinda cool how you cupped the boards out. Makes perfect sense. tHanks for the video.

    I very much appreciate your video. Many thanks. The grain cupping I had not considered.
