    You done the right thing not wasting too many boards. I keep a lot of the fletchings as well as they come in for something in the end . There is always plenty of firewood anyway when you are milling.The waste percentage from tree to board is quite high at the best of times.😎

    Was in the flooring business for 25 years and we did a number of floors using 5 in 7 in and 9 in boards , in fact Mannington sold them pre finished. Flooring looked awesome.

    I like the idea of sheet rock on the roof and decking on the loft this will help with light and the underside of the loft will look great . And the decking will be great to work off of. Good luck, this is a great project.

    You need to get the roof on, your first floor will go mouldy , you'll never get rid of it,the plastic sheet you have put down will be a breeding ground for mildew it needs to breath .love your show its been a rollercoaster of a ride cant wait till your putting your feet up in front of a warm fire in your timber frame house.

    Why don't you use your wood for $500 and white wash it for contrast. Will look pretty snazzy because you'll still see the grain.

    I don't understand why you don't concentrate on a roof right now. Get the roof at least papered to keep the elements off the rest of the structure. You are worried about the drying of the decking. If you don't have a roof over the decking you are adding mother nature on it. Seems ass backwards to me.

  • @dananelson3534
    @dananelson3534 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    When I heard the quote from the mill to dry and finish your timbers I was impressed with the cost. Quite a savings and as you pointed out, It's really. I'll wait to see what you came up with..

  • @igounfazed

    Quoting Jesse @15:38: "So basically, all we have told these poor folks is that we have no idea what we're doing."
    So not true!
    I now know that having a company possibly mill my lumber for me at 1/4th the cost is a possibility. (which you now know)
    I now know that if I am going to make waste material usable in the future, I should heavily consider a 2 inch thickness. (which you now know)
    I now know that if time were to allow it, separating the 'waste' material into similar groups can be beneficial. (which you now know)
    I now know that hearing Alyssa say 'wood' so many "dang" times made me think: *How much wood, could a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck, could chuck, wood* ?

    WHITE WASHED WOOD ON CEILINGS LOOKS AMAZING, AND WALLS TOO. Breaks things up a bit! Toneing down all the yellow off the wood and the "to much wood look" less busy..... but still offers the continuity and beauty that wood offers. SHERWIN WILLIAMS HAS A GREAT WHITE WASH STAIN.

  • @bunnywarren
    @bunnywarren 6 ปีที่แล้ว +30

    It seems like deciding on what material you would use and where you get it from should be decided ahead of time. You know...a plan. The lack of a plan is why this is taking so long and why there are mistakes being made. Although that may also be to get the YT ad money to help pay for it.

  • @danryan3146
    @danryan3146 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Last spring, I finished my cottage with V-notch Tonge and groove white cedar on all interior walls. I put drywall on the ceiling to keep it bright. I logged, milled, planed and routed the boards myself. Cost to purchase would have been about $3 000. I bought a quality used planer and shaper for $1300 but I already owned the mill (which paid for itself on other projects). I was as surprised as you were to hear that drying, planing and shaping would only cost $500. FYI...there are a couple of hundred hours of labour waiting for you if you do it yourself. Keep up the good work!

    Just wondering.. is this wood suitable as a floor? Isn't it too soft? E.g., will it survive some heavy bowl or smth similar dropping on them? Or will it leave a dent/mark on the floor?

  • @jeffwood8109
    @jeffwood8109 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Go with random widths, uniform thickness, using that wood in the pile. By random, I mean, if you can get a 2x8 out of a plank, get it. use standard widths, but just get the sizes you can, then mix them up on your floor.
    (Ok, I like random, your taste may vary lol) Glad to see you back.

    Our house is a DELTEC. One option was for pine tongue and groove ceilings. We chose to use them in the Great Room which is half of the house. It's got a light golden stain. We did hardwood floors, a dark stained hickory. After seeing the ceiling color we went through some discussions and decided to do knotty pine for our millwork as well. We got it pre finished and had them match our ceiling. We could not be happier with the look. Our walls are drywall as I'm sure yours will be as well. The frame will accent everything and I believe you'll be very happy with the T&G ceiling.

  • @yankeecaptain6626
    @yankeecaptain6626 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    years ago I was a lather, and we were called into retro fit a home with a beam celing and a natural board floor above. they wanted to lighten up the huge room below .so they burned and brushed the timbers and did a flat role tecture on the under side of the decking and painted with a stipple white paint. the change and look was beautiful. the point I am trying to make is you can change it in the years to come.

  • @tchnomasta
    @tchnomasta 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    From a a carpenter by trade that assembles panelized, timber homes, if you use 9/16' spacers on top of the joists before building your 2x6 or 2x8 false floor, as well as on the exterior of the frame, then sheetrock can be applied after the house is dryed in by pocketing it into the spaces left by the 9/16 furring. This method does require tear away taping on the short ends of the sheetrock on ceilings, with baseboard this is not an issue for walls. Just helps deal with the weather factor for your ceilings and/or if your SIPs are OSB on both sides and sheetrock can go on afterward. Frame looks good with a little weather on it!

  • @fillg
    @fillg 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    For the upstairs bathroom area I'd put drywall or planks or whatever you decide to use nearly flush with the bottom of the timbers. So the timbers are still visible from below but there's also hidden space for the plumbing. Especially since there's going to be an enclosed space below (the other bathroom) you'd be less likely to notice that the ceiling in that area is different from the rest of the downstairs area. Even if you noticed, it wouldn't necessarily seem out of place as long as you did the whole room that way.

  • @adcurtin
    @adcurtin 6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    You could use the thin stuff you have for the roof cladding, and cut the logs so you can get standard two-by thickness after the planar, and use that for the loft flooring.

    • @WeirdHarold49
      @WeirdHarold49 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      That was my thought also. Cutting 2"x10" or 2"x12" "rough-cut" dimensional and plane down to "2x10" or "2x12" tongue and groove flooring.
      Using the 1.5" rough cut for roof cladding could leave the exposed underside rough-cut (or both sides) for contrast to the planed posts and beams.

    @it899 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I ran a molding machine(exactly what you described) for a short while, yes they can be easily adjusted to produce different dimensions in both width and thickness. The machine that I ran was computer controlled so simply entering a different number into the computer changed the dimension.

  • @christiedecker2724
    @christiedecker2724 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    As a child, I lived in a home that was built before our state of Maine was a state. The main portion of the home was over 300 years old, according to records. The floor was made using multiple widths. They used the width of the board and added whatever they had next to it. It made a beautiful floor, multiple (straight) widths all put in together. I believe your floor could be made the same way with the multiple widths of whatever you have. No, it wouldn't be evenly spaced it would have variety and would make a good use of what you have. Tongue and grove it, make it with the 'V' groove, however you wish...but please don't feel every board has to equal every other one...trees aren't the same size, it gives the eye variety and that too, is pleasing. :) Blessings!

  • @joncummings8794
    @joncummings8794 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Do they shape both sides of the board at once? Or run it through one way, then the other? Width may not be as much of an issue then?

  • @chefsteve3853
    @chefsteve3853 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    My brother works at a kiln, and when they get wood from the mill it comes just like you have there. Then when it comes out of the kiln is when they cut to width and length, then they plane it.

  • @davidauerbach2626
    @davidauerbach2626 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Random width boards look great, it's an upgrade from standard size and you can use all your widths fur is a very dense wood and can be finished in almost anything ,on the loft plumbing hide between the floor and celling 1 inch on the bottom so you can see the wood and the rafters in the loft lay a 2x4 floor gride and use your fur on that ,the space between unseen from the loft or below perfect for utilities ? Just thinking

  • @DanJoy07
    @DanJoy07 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Wow, beautiful wood, great use for the decking in the loft. The full width boards for decking will work nicely and yield a beautiful, strong, and efficient use of materials Floor. The cladding should all be the same width. Just looks odd having random widths. My 2cents for today. Nice project ya all!

  • @SkylinersYeti
    @SkylinersYeti 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    What to do is strictly a personal choice of style. I have a log home and chose to use spruce decking for my loft and drywall open ceiling. I like the contrast. The all wood homes to me are over kill. One of the down sides to milling your own lumber/ timbers is the "waste". I am a recycler and have piles of residual products on my property and after a while most of it just is dumped. My log home I used board and bat siding on gable ends. I had some very nice rough sawn pine. It looks good on my home. Enjoy the decision making process.

  • @ericrichards5862
    @ericrichards5862 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi Jessie & Alissa,
    I don't know if your looking for suggestions but here goes. Speak with your engineer about planking thickness for the span in your loft, you may be able to use that 1-1/2" rough lumber milled to a net 1-1/4 t&g. also in order to save material with T&G you should be able to use random widths ie 1-1/4 x4, x6, x8 and x10. I would suggest not to use anything over 10 for stability. One of my customers had 2x6 T&G pine flooring and it held up pretty well and that was on the main floor.

    • @ericrichards5862
      @ericrichards5862 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Also I would suggest sheet rocking from below after the loft is installed this adds sheer strength to the planking and you can sheet rock any time after the sheeting, maybe you will like the look of T&G from below and decide not to sheet rock.

  • @tongmasy7226
    @tongmasy7226 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Don't understood your dilemma?
    You obviously have more than enough planking. It's a matter of breaking with traditional thinking and utilizing random widths in your structure whether its use is for flooring or cladding. Ripping your planks to 3", 4", 5", 6" & 7" and then randomly laying them for your flooring/cladding brings fresh, new esthetics to the project. Further, applying something like a white wash stain or other colour stain options onto open ceiling areas will again bring an incredible variety and flexibility to the internal visuals thus breaking up the monotony of too much wood. Plus, the cost savings alone on doing it yourself is a "no brainer".

  • @andreweastaughffe1070
    @andreweastaughffe1070 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    If it was myself i would save those boards for other projects and go with drywall/gyprock for the ceiling as you are going to need to run a bunch of wiring for lighting and it will hide it all and most lighting fixtures are made to sit in gyprock with timber support behind it. It will keep your premium slabs for maybe some furniture or cabinetry and out buildings.

  • @mikestevens3247
    @mikestevens3247 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    If you used the slabs to get the decking, would you have enough left to make 2 x 4's?
    I personally like the look of the wood cladding all over. It takes me back to going on vacation to a cabin. I also like the look of an exposed beam ceiling. For the roof in the loft, why not use drywall between the beams? It would reflect a lot more light.

  • @kirkq2
    @kirkq2 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Any chance you can, since your boards are thinner than standard decking you could mill those boards to 10 inches (utilizing more board feet) and use them exclusively for the cladding on the roof? They would be lighter because they are already thinner. Just curious not trying to be bossy. You guys rock!

  • @samjohnecheck8958
    @samjohnecheck8958 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Another thought, laminate your boards up to 10 in. thick. plain the sides to even everything up, then cut it crosswise to end up with 1 3/4 in thick lams that can then be milled to spec. You end up with striped decking that might look kind of cool. Try some scrap pieces and put them in place to see if you like it or not before doing the whole stack.

    For what it is worth, I live in a log cabin that has wood walls, wood ceilings, and wood floors, it is all pine, (it was originally a summer house). and sometimes I feel like I live in a pine box. I personally think that you should break up all the wood which I think would actually have the effect of showing off the wood frame and other wood that you keep exposed.

  • @scottfrank726
    @scottfrank726 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Run all those boards through an edger to get rid of the wanes edge. Wood miser makes one. Or see a Miller that could trim it for you on site. You will get boards of all different widths. With all you need for your house buying one would pay for itself. It cuts both sides of the board at the same time. (A)Drop log on mill. (B) slab off desired thickness. (C)Run through edger, small end first. Done! I would use all the random wood you have for the roof. Plane it all to one inch thick. Use all of it that you can. Then cut the rest of your boards the size you need on purpose. I've been milling wood for 20 years now. Sometimes it cost less to buy factory lumber than to cut it your self. It all depends on how fast you need to get it done. Your house looks great. Enjoy the ride.

  • @danieldowning4583
    @danieldowning4583 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    If an opinion would be entertained, my vote would be for as many paintable surfaces as possible. Over only a decade or two the wood will amber out and get quite a bit darker. As time goes on your tastes will change when it comes to colors. I say let the timbers be an outstanding accent and bring in the colors and tones you want with paint. Also when the furniture and pictures need to be moved around you will have many shadowed areas on the woodwork. And more wood could be added years down the road if warranted. Of course I am a little biased being that I sell coatings for a living. Just thinking out loud. GOD Bless.

    @doubledarefan 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Throw the whole "One width fits all" idea out the window!
    Sort the planks by width as well as by length, and, after getting them dried and shaped, do a "random width" thing. Or install one width over each room.
    Also: Do not assume you are limited to even numbers. If you have a bunch of, say, 9" planks, use 'em as such. Do not cut 'em to 8" and send 1/9th of the material to the firewood pile.

    Guys if you want my opinion, Sheetrock (if that's plasterboard here in the uk) between the rafters and paint a pale colour, that will make the rafters visible and make them pop. Use the lumber you have and use it on the floor. It will look amazing. Remember your making a house not a sauna.

    Hello, we have a timber frame, A-frame home. Our floor for the second floor is our ceiling on our first floor. There are positives and negatives to this. In the winter the heat from our pellet stove travels easily through the floor and we are able to heat our entire home with one (previously wood stove) pellet stove. The problem is that sound also travels through quite easily. We have grown accustomed to this and it is not a problem in our family. We have 2 x 6 tongue and groove yellow pine floors, the reason the 2 inch is preferable is that you can span a large distance and still build to safe code. If you want more info let me know I can send pictures so you can see what it looks like. We do have poor lighting but the wood floors and ceiling still create a beautiful impact especially with the drywall walls.

    If you can calculate the load-bearing of an inch and a quarter board I think you'll be great because a lot of houses are floored with three quarter inch plywood. Also it would look cool with different widths tongue-and-groove flooring.

    Is it a option to get the company to dry, plain and route joust the one edge, then its half the work load for you and you get the most out of our material.

    i think you dont want too wide boards to prevent warping (U shaping on the ends).
    I think you can sort that too by making relief cuts lengthwise on the bottom of the board .. not sure if it will look good from below though.

    I know what a soft wood floor is. We have a lot of it in our house. It's not bad. It will definitely show marks, but it has a pretty cool rustic look.

    I believe you can get brass or chrome sheathed DWV to run down through the lower bathroom to the sewer line, because others have faced the same problem.

    2 things to think about to get the most out of your wood
    1) why 6"? 7" or 8" will work as well for decking.
    2) why plain the bottom side of the board if you are going to cover it with drywall ?

  • @RedefineLiving

    Does it need to be 6" wide? Can't you make it 8"-12" or random width? Only a single run needs to be the same width so you can do a run at 12" next one at 8" next one at 10" and so on...That would be cool.

    Can you even quickly dry lumber quickly in a kiln? I've read up on that topic and what I've read is that it takes a lot of time, and lumber in the middle of the stack won't be dry enough while the outsides will be too dry.
    Also, why not do 8 inch decking instead of 6 inch?

    With a false floor you dont need really thick lumber right?
    IMO I would love to have a wooden ceiling.

    I hate loosing footage. I had to free up some more space on a SD card the other day and accidentally deleted all scenes instead of the one I intended to and lost 5 hours worth of work. I ran recovery on it but only got about 50% back.

    Thanks for the video, you could get more logs and mill them to save you on any thing else you need. Then have them dried and still save a lot of money. Be safe...

  • @MidnightAmratha

    for milling/planing boards, make the slabs 2 and a half inches so there are at least half an inch for planing that will make the process so much easier for the manufacturer

    One option is to mix it up a bit. Raised floor and sheet rock in some spaces e.g. kitchen and bathroom areas. Then timber floors, ceiling and walls in other spaces. You can also have sheet rock walls in some places and timber in others. With good painting you can create continuity and texture and contrast as you want it. If you have a high window in some spaces, you will have the "texture" of the scenery through the window too. This would also mix up your budget options too.

    the thinner planks can be used as ceiling cladding, 1 and 3/4 inch cladding is way more than enough for ceilings and if you make very wide planks it will be unique.

  • @chrisflavelle1200

    If you are going to use the boards for your decking, and if you are going to use a different flooring for the loft then you could plane one side of the board and therefore, keep some of the thickness for the decking.

    BTW: With bathroom plumbing your choice is either (1) PVC pipes or (2) cast iron. With PVC everyone in the house will know when the toilet is flushed, it will be loud and noticeable. With cast iron soil pipes the sounds are greatly reduced, it won't be as obvious when the toilet is flushed. Remember you'll live with this choice forever.
