[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]the wood is usually stronger which makes for a stronger house - old growth vs. new growth. You can do things like add more studs - every 12 vs. 16 [/quote] LOL. I hope people don't actually believe stuff like this..[/quote] I hope you aren't a contractor. I live in a house built at the turn of the Century. The old growth wood is magnificent, and when we did our renovation and had the walls etc open, all of the construction team marvalled at it. [/quote] We live in a 50's house and DIY a lot. There is a huge difference in the wood we have pulled out vs. the new stuff we buy. [/quote] No one gives a shit about wood. The best stuff is engineered or steel anyways[/quote]
