  • Is a timber frame house from back then the same as one built post 1950 though? Some Q’s:

    • Have materials/practices decreased in quality?
    • Has there been a shift from a sense of pride in craft and duty to build well towards cutting corners and saving $?
    • Has the density and properties of wood changed as we use smaller trees grown more quickly in monocultures compared to old-growth harvested lumber of pre 1900s?
