Allen raises a good point but much will depend on the type of wood you have on your land. I will be building with a mostly oak and have read and been told that many oak builders use green wood to build with.

This article is several decades old but contains some very good information about building with green wood.

Nice stove man, I can only echo Matt and Peter's replies.

No building codes, and cheap taxes, where I have my land, Texas County Missouri.

I sure hope I can get paw paw to grow in my forest, I can't wait to try.

ahh, Orange.. right near Sabine Lake and then just a short channel to the gulf. Been there once, many moons ago.

Katie! Glad to see a new campaign up, I wish you the best of luck. I contributed to the last one and will try to contribute to this one as well but it's a tough time for me as I am getting ready to hit the road for my land in October. I will do something before I leave though. *huggs*

Damn, Paul is tall. He'd probably make me look small.
