Here's the latest excuse circulating against timberframes. Hopefully someone can help me.
Up in here in Southeast Alaska we have abundant wood but no lumber graders.
A client is concerned that perfectly good wood can't be used because the home couldn't be insured, due to the lack of a stamp. We'd use old growth Sitka Spruce, surely some of the nicest stuff around.
Anyone out there have any insight or suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Zach
