Hi Everybody:
I want to thank all for their responses to this post and the one I had vis-vis peg size. I have made hard copies of all these comments/suggestions for future reference.
I am now starting on the rafters. To my horror when I went through my stacked timbers last night I found many had "blue stain" fungus and lots of sap on the non-heartwood parts of the timber. I had them stacked in an unheated garage 1" apart and layers seperated by 5/8" stickers.
I wire brushed off all the visible fungus and restacked the timbers with about 3" between them and stickered layers using 2X2's (actually 1 1/2").
Any further suggestions/comments are welcome.
Thanks again and bye for now...Norm Hart.
