I'm in the mountains of NC - I've started discussion with a local timber framer - but not a PE yet. I'm sure we'll have to get a permit / plans before we start. Right now we are trying to get a rough plan / idea together for a cut list as I have a large number of Hemlock we are thinking about using that are dying off from the wooly adgelid. Tentative plans are to drop and saw up the timbers this summer and season them over the winter.

elevation is 3200 feet, high wind zone - requires DP50 windows for the house we are currently remodeling.
