Oh, why are there homes and buildings that were built 200+ years ago out of ruff cut GREEN lumber still standing today?
Probably because they were either hardwood or not air conditioned, ever. And even then the wood would have been set aside and allow to reach moisture equilibrium over a period of time.
Keep in mind, even 200 years ago. Lumber was air dried and kiln existed even the. As well, just not the industrial ovens we think of now.
Lastly, don't confuse rough cut with green lumber. Not at all the same thing.
BTW, where are these 200 year old wooden structures that have not had major repairs still standing?
