Soooo....The frames are still often constructed of "green" lumber for purposes of ecomony? Is large size kiln-dried lumber a commonly available item or is it a specialty all its' own? My question stemmed more from the fact that having studied log home construction a bit. With these, it is common construction practice to make various mechanical allowances around wall openings and interior walls and such to allow for a prodigious amount of "settling". Just wondered how much change in dimesion is to be expected from a framed structure and or how it is accounted for.
