Hello to all in the fourm. This is not exactly framing, but i thought i would get some good response from you some of you out there who may have encountered something similar.
I have a tree in my backyard that I am going to be cutting down (due to proximity to the newly built, code compliant house we just finished. also a number of roots were cut during trenching.)
I would like to leave the stump about 20 feet of the ground for the purposes of constructing an elevated platform.
Any suggestions on treatments or things to do to preserve the wood (standing stump) as long as possible ? The tree is green and healthy now, but this here plans examiner, former tree climber, is about to change all of that....
We tore down our old house and I have reclaimed a ton (actually several tons) of very nice usable material. I have some 22 foot 6x10's and some 24 foot 4x8's. While they aren't PT, i think i can surface treat them and get a 10+ year life out of them.
Any thoughts, suggetstions, comments, criticisms, jabs, off topic tangents, etc. are appreciated.
I will document and post some pics from time to time of what we are doing. Its still on the drawing board but I am going to cut the tree soon and get started.
Thanks.
