I'd like to see somebody try that with the crooked crap lumber we get at lumber yards today. It would look like a drunk monkey built it.

I'd like to see somebody try that with the crooked crap lumber we get at lumber yards today. It would look like a drunk monkey built it. Part of that is because so much of our lumber now comes from tree farms. They cut trees at a younger age and younger trees will warp more than old growth. Most of those old buildings were made from old growth.

Most of those old buildings were made from old growth. As a forester, I have to say that this is largely true; at least when it comes to southern pine timber and lumber. Can't speak to what is being done in other regions.
The biggest problem our country has is not systemic racism, it's systemic stupidity.

Fortunately, termites ain't a thing in cold dry climates like NW Montana. No heartworms or fleas for my mutts either. Pest Control mf'ers gotta make a living off the hard stuff like spiders and bats. More ‘Out West Bliss’ no bugs, no groids, dogs allowed in Natl Parks, elk shed laying about, 180” mule that stop at the wave of a hat, pronghorn that stand still for 30 mins while ya set up a tripod, every ditch teeming with salmon 😂😂

Do you suppose for the window cutouts they drill and pin both side or just build the hole as the walls go up?

Tide Change;
Back to that method of construction though, if I'm not wrong, the prairie grain elevators that I recall as a kid were built with wood on the flat like that or at least some of it was. Again the way back machine isn't quite firing on all cylinders, but when they were taking the elevators down, they salvaged tons and tons of wood from them.
Dwayne The grain bins inside the elevators were built that way with 2x6s or bigger. It was necessary to hold the pressure when the bin was pretty tall since a big quantity of grain can act somewhat like a liquid and push on the walls of its container. Took a lot of wood to make a tall elevator.  Jerry
