Those old New England barns were sawn and built immediately and they have stood for centuries.

Yes, it does, thanks. I suppose if you had the time and the kiln, drying some of it would have been preferrable, other than the wood that you mentioned was best installed somewhat green to make it easier to install. I've got a lot to learn, but there's a lot of info available, just need to take the time to keep researching.

Best of luck,its not an exact science and if you have to adjust and make changes as you go,no one will know but you.Finish work covers a multitude of sins.
