I have to resize a lot of the timbers anyway per the cut list. About a third of the timbers have twist that we'd just rather not deal with. To leave them alone, it takes more skill and more time to do the layout and checking etc. You may also have the problem over time of trying to fit something inside up to a timber that is twisted. I feel it's a lot easier to deal with it now while we are re-sizing. Some faces really need resurfacing too due to the face damage from nail removal on some timbers that had a lot. In an ideal world, I could have prepped these timbers when I had extra time. As it is now, I'll get the first cut list (for the two workshop frames) at the end of this week. We haven't started the house design yet, so not sure how long that will take and how long til I have that cut list. Anyway, we'll get started prepping these timbers and by the time we have it prepped, we should have all the drawings for these two frames. We'll then start the layout and cutting.
