I am getting a new room built on to my brick veneer house, by a registered builder. We have agreed to build the frame with Cypress Pine(I am in a high termite activity area). I am not sure if he has used Cypress before for framing
He has ordered it , and it is coming direct from the mill , ie completely unseasoned. He is planning to use it as is.
I am concerned about problems that could arise from shrinkage, and maybe twisting of the timber.
Does anyone have any opinions about the wisdom of this plan? Or any advice that I could pass on to him. I had imagined that he would use seasoned timber.
Thanks
