Hi all. Been busy cutting firewood and want to build a small hunting cabin on our property using available small(8" diameter trees)to build a "butt and pass "style cabin. I read a previously posted same subject from 2010 but it abruptly ended without showing results from the member (frogy)- I sent him a PM to see if he's still around -so I figured I'd start a new thread here and see if anyone can tell me when the best time to cut them down and how long they need to sit before debarking and building?
( I did read a few important things to do or keep it approximately one and a half to 2 ft above the ground, overhangs of 3 ft and possibly keep it in the shade and obviously reseal the wood accordingly and make sure the roof is good( I would be using a steel roof)
