Hello:

I am building a timber frame shed as per Jack Sobon's book. I have all the wood for the girts, collar ties, rafters, joists and braces. In other words all the non 8x8 members. I have cut/made the girts, collar ties and braces. I will do the joists and rafters in the next month and a half. The wood is pine. All the wood is stickered and stacked in our unheated garage. It will not be in sunlight. My plan is next winter to have the 8x8's cut and then work on them over the winter/spring to have a raising spring 2003.

1. Will I run into problems with this approach?

2. Should I auger the peg holes as I am making the members or wait til closer to raising time. I plan to draw pin as suggested.

Thanks and bye...Norm
