Stick built rafter roof with rough cut green lumber. (The Mad Neighbor camp build part 8)

We are back for a couple days working on the little camp project. Here we take the 20 foot long super wet and heavy rafters and put them on the upstairs floor for three weeks. The wind and sun got to them real good and they lost about 40 lbs of water. They were really to heavy to work with when we cut them so we decided to dry them. We put stickers between the boards so the y would dry faster. Also we will have this camp built before summer and with the open framing this will let everything dry out as well before we close it in in the fall.

Love the rough sawed lumber, looking good! "Bondo's stabin cabin"😜

[@bondobuilt386]

Thanks but its not my camp. LOL 😊

It's coming together nicely. Very jealous of all your toys man, oh and your hat lol.

Thanks bud. 😊😂

got the same issue with trusses right now with the price of lumber its crazy.... might have to mill up some green 2x12 and now i know it can be done! :)

Thumbs up for now will watch later

Thanks Kevin. 😊

Sorry I meant ED. 😊

[@ernieforrest7218]

Worm drive saws are the best for cutting roof rafters. As for the green lumber, get it under roof and all the sheathing installed. Cover everything with 30# felt paper and just leave it sit for about 6 months.

What do have all senior citizen's working for you ?

[@bondobuilt386]

No just a few good old boys. You can gain a lot of knowledge by hanging around with older craftsmen.

[@gjones5153]

I think the Amish would have used some ropes on the ends of those beams to slide in place 👍

Ya I’m sure LOL

[@wontsay7923]

That's nicely built.

[@bondobuilt386]

Thanks 😊

[@ernieforrest7218]

So is the plan to dry the place in and then let the lumber dry out?

[@ppainterco]

My grandad was a blacksmith in western Pennsylvania and said that when framed a house with green hemlock and hand cut nails that the wood shrinks and clings around the nail and won’t let go, and you can’t pull the cut nails out. Good luck finding cut nails in this day and age.

[@arthurhouston3]

How are they going to allow for it to sreank

[@bondobuilt386]

We framed it in the spring and left it open until fall then closed it in. It dried all summer.

[@chipmiller9074]

I just realized the date on this you guys have already completed this long ago😅

[@jamesoncross7494]

Looks awesome but it is going to shrink like wool a sweater in the drier.

[@bondobuilt386]

It was dry by the time we closed it in. We started building in early spring closed it in in November. They spray foamed the walls and ceiling in December. The spray foam guys check the moisture levels in the framing before they will spray.

I come here.

[@jeffsmith4525]

Tried ripping fresh cut 1 by 10 on my table saw. Swelling up against the blade made it impossible.

[@bondobuilt386]

sticker it up where the wind and sun will get to it for a week or two it will make it much easier to work with. 👍

[@jeffsmith4525]

@@bondobuilt386 Yup. Stacked it outside with spacers to let it dry a bit. The 16 by16 shed looks great.

[@jameshorrocks2939]

And the award for the safest end grain cut with a big ass saw goes to bondo.

[@parkerbrothers75]

Have you noticed any problems building with green? Thanks

[@bondobuilt386]

None but we frame it in spring and it got closed up in fall so it all had time to dry out.

[@BLAM777]

working with green lumber now to build our camp. Definitely kills batteries on my cordless circular saw.

I'm not a fan of stick built houses but for being stick built this is very strong looking.

[@AStanton1966]

I'm no carpenter, but I would of checked one or two of those rafters for fit before I cut all of them. Measure twice--cut once!

How did this house turn out this is the last I’ve seen of this series #8 ?

[@pennyraven1222]

Just wondering why no overhang on rafters?? You had plenty of length.

[@als8518]

longer overhang at that pitch would block the windows.

[@chipmiller9074]

Beautiful big beams😊

[@RJM1011]

That is BEAUTIFUL timber work ! :)

[@bondobuilt386]

Thanks Richard. 😊

[@jimanderson4495]

Bondo.... you said those were fresh cut. What is the moisture content? Are you going to dbl up the rafters on either side of the dormer? Go make some rebar protectors will ya.

[@bondobuilt386]

They were like 100% moisture content uncle Jim. we had to air dry them so we could handle them better. LOL

[@lightning9279]

Those tools should be tied off to the roof so if they fall they wont get damaged. 😎 That is one stout build you got going on there. That place is build like a brick shit house. Well done guys.

[@bondobuilt386]

Thanks 👍

[@lightning9279]

Did you have to get the lumber graded before using them to build the frame?

[@65themarc]

Rafters vs. Trusses?

[@bondobuilt386]

saved $5000 using rafters. 👍

[@pennyraven1222]

Board and batten siding I'm guessing.

[@samt5663]

How do you account for irregular shrinkage along lumber length when your cutting boards to final length before it is dried?

[@bondobuilt386]

Lumber shrinks almost nothing in length just the width as it dries buddy. 👍

[@ppainterco]

Wood will shrink a lot across the width of the grain, but hardly shrinks at all along the length. I expect to lose 1/8” per foot of width when lumber dries. You might get a 1/16” of shrinkage on a 20’ length.

[@FredD63]

You could use a beam saw

[@sammosher1812]

Gotta be a pretty cool area that lets you build with rough sawn lumber! That'd give our inspectors the grins around here.

[@bondobuilt386]

Sam Its crazy because its better lumber. I;m glad they allow it with these lumber prices.

[@seanf7810]

It varies from state to state and inspector to inspector, but my understanding is that inspectors have a lot more discretion to approve native timber than most people think. I found this explanation very eye-opening: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYKTqqSgnsl5e7s.

[@phillhuddleston9445]

In my area we have no building codes, permits needed or inspectors! I usually build stronger than code or at least to code but love how I can do things when and how I want without being on someone else's schedule!

I have a bunch of rough cut drying in the garage for 4 months now and it's still at 12%. It has shrunk a lot. I imagine this whole roof will pull away from the nails and collapse.
