In general cutting outside the pith, free of heart timbers will usually pull as you have differential tension on the beam. I have always milled them oversize, stickered them in a pile to dry for a few weeks and then resized them to my desired dimension. Boxed heart timbers, will check more but assuming your leveling the pith and it runs relatively straight, the box heart timbers dont spring or pull as much bc there is relatively equal tension on all faces. Looks like that woodland mill has already paid for itself several times over.

Howdy y’all- love the music you pick- got kind of a “snakey” feel to it. Those logs turned out some nice timbers. Hope y’all have a great weekend. God bless

The beauty of wood, and how to use it building a very nice home.

Dear sir, the footage at the beginning of the video says it all. A stack of logs, your sawmill ready to cut and your beautiful project with vertical bents, no bark. Outstanding and what a wonderful dream in the woods becoming a stark reality. Super cool stuff 😎. Thank you so very much for taking everyone along for the ride.

Good to see you back on the mill.

Your building project is very impressive I’m milling lumber for my sawmill shed on my 130 max I built log turner at 85yrs. Old everything has to be easy the hardest thing at the end of the day is wrestling the woodland mills cover on the mill 😮‍💨

Ponderosa pine, the Wagu beef of timber

It’s so nice to build your house with your own mills and mill the wood , this is a bright path to success.

good to see absolutely no deflection in your sawmill shed when lifting those logs with your winch...BEAUTIFUL LOG

I worked in the Cascade sawmill in the late 70's. We were the first women hired to work there, welcomed by the older guys, but not so much by the yourger guys. It was quite the experience. Thanks for sharing

Another "dandy" video which I thoroughly enjoyed. Just for you Beth - lol.

It feels like it's been a bit since we've been on the sawmill - and it was nice! These are really great logs and it's exciting knowing exactly where they will be going! Fun question: Greg uses the word "dandy" as a good thing - Beth thinks of it as not a good thing... for example, If I said, "It's a dandy." Do you think that's good or bad? Just curious!!! 😁 Hope you enjoy this video!

Congrats! looks so cool. exciting to see all the hard work show for the effort! i can only imagen how you guys feel getting to this point!

Floor joists with Sabrina Carpenter… Cmon Man 🤔🤷‍♂️

Standing TIMBER, NO BARK. Looking very nice gentlemen. You guys make a great team.

I would get the roof on before it rains

I know a couple who built a large home so their grandchildren could have plenty of room. Their grandchildren never visit and they live there, the 2 of them in this huge 6 bdrm home by themselves, just rattling around inside. Don't plan for your grandchildren. That's the parent's job. Rather, build a cozy abode that is low maintenance/cleaning for your latter years.

Sure is beautiful,can’t wait to see the wings added .

I would never hang a floor on puny joist hangers. They either sit on top of the plate or a huge ledge.

Drone shot is so cool!

Glad to see Erik back!

It’s really starting to take shape! 🎉

Aww, love the Bo cameo! 💜

Wow, that lift is such a time saver and I’m sure it feels much more secure than a ladder! Awesome!

Learn crane signals and 0ne person giving them

Two words. Well done.

Good job! A few thoughts from carpenters I've worked with. - Depending on how dry the beams are, you want to be able to accumulate shrinkage, etc. Might leave a bit of space, (1/16" - 1/8"?) between beam & joist - Make a spacer stick that fits between 2 joists. Measure once, make stick (a single function story pole), use the spacer to set all the joists. If you're going measure, run the tape the distance and mark all the joist locations in one go. - Good trick with the tri-square to place the hangers. Might be quicker to nail off the hangers to the joist bottom while it's sitting on the lift. Then place the joist & nail off the hanger on the beam. - A neat trick a framer showed me to use when hanging high joists was to make a couple "S" shaped loose brackets to hold the joist while fastening it. The upper arm fits over the beam and the lower is straight & the joist rests on it, an inch or so low. Set the brackets in place at the mark, place the joist on the brackets, grab your hangers & nail gun, bring the joist level & nail it in place. About doubled joists. They're there for several reasons, 1st to provide nailing surface for subflooring, etc.. 2nd is to reinforce under loads, walls, structural from above, and appliances & heavy items, think adjustable beds, loaded bookcases, bath tubs, etc. 3rd is to deal with loads distributed from other joists, for example joists dying into a stairwell or short joists at 90 degrees such as you're thinking at the outside walls.

Howdy y’all- got a lot done over the weekend. Checking in timbers is just the nature of the beast. Take care and stay safe and cool. God bless

Looking good. If you are feeling the temp, just think about doing the work in the winter at 0° and snowing!! Thanks for bringing us along

wow you guys this is so beautiful!!

Your 65' brings back memories. Almost was my first vehicle. That one had just too much rust. Is yours a 3 on the tree?

Days off, what's that lol. You've been working 8 days a week as far as I can tell. Excellent work!

Looking good, very nice job!👍🏻

The man lift will get the most valuable tool or machine by the end of this build.

would stretching some used cheap billboard tarps over the top help to keep sun/rain off and provide shade until the roof arrives?

Another beautiful drone shot, fantastic! Great job keeping everything clean and organized on the site. Classic Douglas fir coloration shaping up.

Costruzione molto bella e architettonica. Complimenti per il lavoro che state facendo.

Looking real proper, congratulations, gonna be a beautiful home.

😊

I would not let kids ran under the lift , it is not safe

Deck joists should be treated. The ledger board should be held off the house by 2" blocks to help prevent rot when the snow melts and freezes. This is done in cold winter states were the water can sit for long periods of time.

In Arizona we call more than one joist "joists". Is "joistes" a word where you are?

It sure was nice to have Erik back out helping on the barndominium build! We worked on floor joists and blocking- both pretty tedious tasks, but nice to have the help for sure - makes the tasks go by a little faster! Hope you enjoy this video. 😊

Why not use bigger joist hangers. Looks like you have the room for them…? Nice timber frame work.

Don't you wish they made square sonotubes??!! I still haven't been able to find them.

Love the drone shot at the end! You can see it’s hot with the haze. Stay cool! 😎

Looks great! Excited to see the next one 😊

Love the viewpoint from the conifer🌲
