my partner and i are getting ready to build our house soon. our original plan was to use local doug fir for the frame. however an oppurtunity to use yellow cedar, and at a better price than the fir, has come along..local opinion about timber framing with yellow cedar is all over the map. none of the books i've found list alaskan yellow cedar in their charts. i love yellow cedar and think it would be a joy to live with but i'm a little concerned about building with it. any input would be appreciated. eric
