    My experience is that the curve of the end grain wants to flatten out when it dries which i think is the opposite to what you describe.

    Another question for you please. My cabin will be conventionak 2x4 walls with 7/16 osb. I see you also used 7/16 osb. Screwing into the osb in the middle... is that holding up well for you? My son suggested i need to put up hoizontal 2x4s horizontal in addition to the vertical studs. What do you think?

  • @jerryf609
    @jerryf609 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Thanks for your video. I need to do similar.
    Looking at the seem where the triangle starts I was thinking of putting Z flashing on before the lower battens then hold the bottom battens down about 2 inches so that the horizontal piece between the lower section and the top triangle would overlap both sections .
    What do you think.?

    @leevanbinh 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I noticed you did not flash your window header but instead allow the first layer of wide boards to terminate directly above the window. Is it because the window is recessed and already flashed

    No water proofing behind the board and batten?

    "sometimes cut twice." haha. I've done that a few times.

  •  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Can you clarify the 30* cut you make to shed water? the top end gets the cut or the bottom? does the angle go toward the plywood or away?

    • @SamMacyDesigns
      @SamMacyDesigns  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Of course! So the bottom of the board gets a 30* cut and the angle faces towards the outside of the building, in other words the "long" side of the board is up against the plywood. Then when it rains the water sheds down the outside of the board, along the face of the angled cuts, and drips of the sharp edge at the bottom of the board. If you cut the board flat on the bottom side the water tends to pool upside down on the end grain and gets soaked up by the board. Hope that helps!

      @@SamMacyDesigns Call me crazy, but wouldn't the end grain tend to siphon moisture in your orientation? I would think that having the long edge facing the outside would tend to shed running water directly to grade without it ever coming into contact with the board's end grain. Your thoughts?

    What species of wood did you use for the boards and battens?

      @SamMacyDesigns  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I used pine but you can also use hemlock and cedar and have good results

    What? Are you sure you present the wood drying curve direction right? You said it curves inside, it wans to be a tree again, it wants to be around the tree. But when you google any pictures - you will see the exact opposite. Or have I misunderstood you?

    • @SamMacyDesigns
      @SamMacyDesigns  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That’s a good question! So I’ve seen both on the internet and was convinced that it was the other way around but I let my wood dry for a couple weeks and nearly every board curved WITH the grain like I explained in the video. I’m still a little baffled but my only conclusion is that there’s a possibility that it might have to do with the wood species, thickness, or how they sawed it. But at the end of the day the battens are supposed to hold it in place either way. So yeah I wouldn’t bet money on my way being correct but I think it’ll work 😃

      In my area it’s very dry and a lot of people say it’s a waste of time to wrap… but some people do it anyways.. even though it’s dry, I’ve experienced water damage due to roof leaks.., but I don’t know how much wrapping would have helped that problem

    That so called "nice" window sill feature is a water catcher and will rot in 2 years. That flat ledge would be an inside sill made wider to put plants or etc on.

    • @SamMacyDesigns
      @SamMacyDesigns  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      So far it’s been bone dry and we’ve had lots of rain and wind, the overhang from the roof does a nice job of preventing rain from getting on the windows and sill
