      Also when you are drying the wood you have to seal the end grain to prevent uneven drying. Usually it takes wood much longer than 6 months to reach average relative humidity. Wood never gets dry unless you use them for fire and turn them to charcoal. Wood retains various amounts of moisture depending on the areas humidity which takes up to several years

      he could likely do it within a week or a few weeks if he made some wooden mallets and such. the rental for the above is also pretty cheap and the deal with him is that he basicly leases a portion of other folks properties in exchange for the use of their tools and such. my family has about the same amount of stuff helping such a modest and helpful neighbor move in would honestly be a pleasure.

A large three story house with shed and large barn attached to the house so you don’t have to go outside in winter to care for animals. And after growing tons of food in the fields, and storing it in the barn or root cellars or shed, families were able to live in harmony with nature and produce much more food than they needed , making it possible to sell or share of the abundance. What a different vision we have today . Interesting. I love the tiny house.
