Hope to start sawing logs in the next week or two for lumber to frame my son's new house. I know most houses are framed with finished 2X4's, but I believe that is because of the cost of 2X6's. I've got plenty of clear pine to cut all the 2X6's I would need. I live in NW FL and the winters are mild and the summers really hot for 2 months. Would there be any real "thermo" advantage to using 2X6's? I know structurally it would be stronger than 2X4 outside walls.
Anyone here ever frame a house with rough cut 2X6's?
tks in advance,
