JD, what's the deal with the hardware, and wood treatment, does the latter ACQ react with mill finish mild steel or something like dissimilar metals does in the galvanic series, in those instances you either have to create a bond breaker or other means to keep em separate, or use a compatible material.

CCA performs great, I have always wondered what dictated the change, I used to haul trailer loads from the plant in Athens NY and Holbrook in Albany, and even down south in NC many years ago.

Slivers, sawdust, leaching ? burning ? byproducts from treatment plants ? It seems that like anything else, handled properly there was no environmental issues, seems like an envirowhacko agenda item unless I've missed something.

That almost 4th floor, ( realizing most codes don't allow for wood framed structures with a 4th floor ) you must have found a way to frame that and provide the support you needed for same, I want to do that with a 20x32 pole barn, mostly for aesthetic reasons, but it would make a great observation post over my place being on a hill, was thinking of spanning the 20' wide part, posts are 8' o.c. figured a couple of timbers but the one side complicates it as I left 1 pole out to make a 16' wide door so that header would have to allow one timber spanning the 20' to bear on it, often wondered if it would work or just the heck with it, though I think it would work with the right size beams.

16' opening on right:

One person(me) setting 18' posts:

PS, nice work & kind of looks like a good amount of labor there, though you are right one person can do quite a bit and I'll bet certain pieces of equipment you have there were very helpful at times.
