Good to see thinning being done. By western drought climate conditions and change there are still too many trees. That does vary with the local conditions.
Our mountains are dry compared to other places further north in the west and much drier than the east. The aim is for about 75 basal sq ft per acre.
OK, I'll bite: why didn't you use PT 2X? for your sill plates? If you explained, I apologize, just can't find it. Seems like anything even remotely "like OSB" would be the last thing a person would use as a sill plate. Gary
Then we found the gable end walls did NOT line up with the end truss……I had chosen to use math when framing instead of removing the trusses from their strapping and laying one down to use as a template….that was the wrong move. Had to fix the walls in place by removing the top plates and cutting some of the studs.
Don't worry, if you're like me this will just be the first of many little slips Important thing is to not let it get to you, they happen, you've just gotta learn from them and move on. Looks like good progress so far.
