Hi: I am Jim from Vermont. (do they stay or do they go now)

I cut some soft and hard maple 2 winters ago. Logs were off of ground on landing for 1 year, This past winter I had them sawn for a timber frame studio / gallery I am planning. The logs were pit in center cut. I am near done cutting the joinery. I have planed all and kerf cut the hidden side of appropriate timbers, resealed ends and applied a wood preservative followed weeks later by a 50 / 50 linseed oil and thinners mix. The wood preservative (TWP) was applied due to some small amounts of mold found on a few pieces and the fact that the frame may be exposed for a while until the roof is finished. The timbers were never in the sun and are always on stickers. I did my best to get air circulation to them. We are having a extremely wet spring and summer and timbers low in the stack have suffered slightly. The timbers are very stable, so far with little to no checking, or bending /bowing etc. I'm thinking the high humidity has provided slow drying conditions. Due to the very wet conditions I am delayed in the completion of the foundation and other site work.
Questions: Do I dare wait until spring for the raising? I am running out of time and don't want the stress of completing before winter and a hurried job.. I am concerned that the low humidity of winter will cause much faster drying resulting in checks and timber movement. Will the timbers freeze which will retard drying or if they freeze will it create added stresses? I have some control on their environment this winter as the finished timbers are on stickers and have filled most of my garage / work shop. Given the amount of work I have into these timbers and their beauty I want to do the right thing. If it comes down to it I could bear the cold and snow and work through winter.( burr). I have a day job so winter work would be weekends and take some vacation. I do plan on hiring some help for some bent assembly through structure closed in as I want to minimize the exposure to elements time.
I have enjoyed this project, partly because I was not major schedule driven.

Do I push to get it done? Any advise on cut timber storage over a Vermont winter?

Thanks in advance

Jim
