Hello, All.

My wife and I have been dreaming of building a Timberframe in Virginia for years. We want to use locally harvested pine.

We have a bandsaw mill and want to cut our own timbers but we have been told all the timbers have to be CUT within 2 months of each other or they will be in different states of dryness.

Since we can't get all the logs at one time from our local tree guy, our question is this:

"How long will pine logs last without molding or rotting if properly stored off the ground"?

We appreciate your knowledgeable reply in advance.
