I can't answer your question about drying lumber but. You & your sons may want to give some serious thought about what you are trying to do. I have built a new house every year for most of my life. The first when I was 19 & I'm 67 now. The only lumber you will be able to cut yourself & POSSIBLY save money on is your studs, floor joists, & rafters and you better have some really long & really big trees for your rafters & floor joists. You will still need to buy your sheathing for your roof 4'x 8' & your outside walls 4'x9'. You will need to buy 4'x8' 3/4 tongue & groove sub flooring. You will still need to buy your interior trim boards. (unless your are building a rustic cabin) Don't forget about your green treat for your sill plates. You also want perfect stair treads & toe kicks. We haven't even talked about kitchen & bathroom cabinetry. So unless you have access to some really big, really long trees all you are saving money on are your studs & you sure don't want to have one of your studs warp or twist in a doorway or after you are done dry walling. I'm not condemning what you are doing as some of these lumber costs are scary. I'm just saying give it some serious thought as to what sometimes seems like a good plan doesn't always turn out that way in the end.

The nuts and bolts of nuts and bolts is an interesting and essential piece of knowledge that applies to our older tractors. An improperly torqued capscrew on an engine head or a shear bolt that is too hard on the driving shaft of a bushog can create havoc and make an expensive and uncalled for repair. Let�s examine the purpose and design of these fasteners in order to ensure their proper use. Fasteners are probably one of the aspects of mechanics that is given the least amount of thought.
