And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Money was pretty tight growing up, it didn't take long to check our privilege that's for sure and my folks burned wood for heat We would haul loads of slabs from the sawmill and cut them to length to fit the wood stove.
most of the time those boards are too thick or too thin, normally go in the ''off' pile, to be burned, sold cheaply, or taken home by employees. no need to waste time and labor to run them thru the edger to even up the edges. working at a sawmill was one of the hardest, lowpaying jobs i ever had.
Cedar lap?
ReplyDeleteLooks more like "slab wood" siding. What ever though, it's cool.
DeleteThey are called slabs and are the first cut when milling a tree for lumber. As you see, they make great siding.

ReplyDeleteOn the + side, Cedar's pretty resistant to woodworm
ReplyDeleteUsed to see a lot of siding like that cut from Hemlock in western NC.
ReplyDeleteMe as well only in the northern Adirondacks. I grew up around many buildings sided just like that in hemlock and fir.

They look more like "flitches," the second cut from the log and generally one inch thick.
ReplyDeleteThere a number of nearby homes of recent build that have that same siding. Kinda like it.
ReplyDeleteThere's a house in Madeira Beach, Fl. with siding just like that.....oldest house in the neighborhood, maybe in the city....still standing....
ReplyDeleteOften referred to as live edge siding
ReplyDeleteI lived in Cranberry Lake NY in the Adirondack Park for 21 years and you'll find it EVERYWHERE! Everyone referred to it as Adirondack slab siding.
