Shoutout to the old barn I found off Highway 12 last weekend

The floor joists were 6x6 rough-sawn oak spaced 2 feet apart with zero rot after 90 years, makes me wonder why we switched to 2x12s and plywood.

Honestly makes you wonder if modern lumber was a downgrade.

Heard a buddy @cole_baker had a 2x4 split right down the middle after a week.

That's the new "fast growth" lumber for ya, total garbage now.
