[Johns 66]

Hi All....Been away for awhile...I have been helping my cousin build his house since early June so the truck has been on hold but I am back home now and will start back on it again....hopefully in a little cooler weather. The next couple of posts will be pics of what we were doing.

To preface it a little bit, my cousin Ben has a sawmill and tree business. He cut all the lumber for his house the past 2 yrs. The log cabin part is made out of white oak, the porches are white oak and the remainder is old growth short leaf pine....which means its really tight grained and heavy....lot of heart wood.

The exterior walls are all 2x6, rough cut so a full 2x6, same with the floor joist of 2x10, rafters 2x8. The exterior is cypress 1x12 and we burned and brushed each piece then oiled with a mixture of tung, linseed and citrus oil. That is done to protect the wood...
But I know a few have wondered where I had been, I been keeping in contact with Andy and Christian....so enjoy the pics
