Nice to see the progress… How long do you figure it will take to dry it in?

Now I have to go back and check the previous posts on this project.
Looks like a great place to play.
(and maybe fish out the back window!)

Do you mean that the vapour barrier, styrofoam, furring strips and steel are going on the roof ? or on the walls?
I’m curious about the whole building process. It’s been a while since I observed building in Canada. Here in NZ now you are forced to use CCA treated lumber for any parts which might get exposed to water ( of course that’s because some shoddy builders ruined it for everyone and because the chemical wood manufacturers have a good lobby) and of course insulation is unheard of here.
but…I’m keen to use my own lumber for building too but I’m going to have to make a case to the council that using untreated lumber is ok and it’s being used ( and has been used ) with success for many years in climates harsher than the one here.
What kind of wood did you end up cutting? I think you might have hinted that it was spruce and fir? I assume that it is untreated? is this right?

The wood frame is all spruce and balsam fir. It is all untreated. The foundation will be in seawater when the tide is high. Salt water is not a problem as it does not rot wood. A building built from untreated wood can last as long as treated wood if it is done properly. We use treated wood for patios and the like but everything else is just regular wood and then we stain or paint.
The roof is rafters/1” rough board/black sticky membrane for vapour barrier/ 4” of styrofoam and then this gets screwed to the roof with 2×4 firring strips and 7 1/2” long headlok screws and finally on top of thar the green steel roofing.

Hi Quebecnewf,
Thanks for the response. I am following with interest.
I find it quite interesting that seawater will not rot wood. Is this true regardless of the type of wood? I had heard of people treating wood by soaking in sea water for several days. So this really works?
