Cool!  I do see some of the others now and then and still pop in often.

I hope to get some forest thinning done this year but have to run smaller saws now or hire someone -- if I knew someone who would do the falling I'd probably hire them for a weekend and see what they can get done!

I'm here and usually watch your videos, whether you post them on here or not!    But this site is definitely quiet...

Any anecdotes or experience with New England or even Canadian lumber mills and prefab panels for walls & floors?

Which plans are best suited for an "energy truss" R60 roof?

Thanks.

Is anyone still checking in?  It's been a little while and I was wondering if I should still post these here?

I got back to the cabin and had a wonderful few days!  I'll be back soon with more projects to get done.

Hi,

Are there any specific plans that would be the most suitable for a usable(as opposed to crawl-space) permanent wood foundation?

Further question:  how challenging is it to raise the main floor ceilings?  8' is a wee bit low, for me and my crew.

Sincerely,

PNE

I have been taking care of some miscellaneous items on my **todo** lists for both the Truss and Wall plugin before I dive back down the rabbit hole that is currently the Floor plugin.  Once I jump back into that one I may not emerge again for a couple months so I thought it best that I take care of a few requests first.

- Enabled wood grain texture for the following truss types: flat.
- Added metal plates for all attic trusses.
- Added an attic furring option for attic trusses.
