Here's another thing to think about before your kit is shipped, assuming you decided to buy the milled timber package:
The milled timber package contains 11 8-foot pieces of 3/4x1" cypress strips , but
that isn't enough. I counted and measured all the necessary pieces. There are a grand total of 38 pieces needed, with
a total length of about 98.75 feet. This would require at least 13 pieces of 8-foot stock, but the timber package has only 11.
(I'm not considering the 3/4x1 pieces for the sheer clamps and cabin carlins, which were in the kit, marked with their purpose.)
I made a spreadsheet that listed all necessary pieces and their lengths.
I got in touch with CLC about this issue (and sent them the spreadsheet), and they quickly sent me two additional 8-foot pieces.
I have no idea if they updated the materials list for the timber package, but it would be simpler for you and CLC to deal
with this before your kit is shipped.
BTW, unless you live near some very good lumberyards, and own a planer, I recommend getting the milled timber package.
