> Something majestic about framing...
I've been curious about this one for years. What is it with wood for anything? Is it because is cheaper than concrete, or is it because it's easier to renew in short terms?
I have the impression you would always go with more durable materials specially in zones temperatures reach below 0°C or in places constantly exposed to natural disasters like floods or tornadoes.
Or perhaps it has to do with material availability? Governmental regulations? Here in Mexico is easier even for low class workers to buy material (concrete, sand, brick, etc.) every four kilometers and build walls, roofs and ceilings because statistically there's always a familiar or friend who is a mason. For the same reason our frame windows and doors are made with ferrous metals and protected with bars to prevent burglars to get in (if possible or at least make it difficult).
I know there's an obvious and logic reason to that, but as i've never been in USA is difficult for me to find it. BTW, nice framing you got there.
