Hi,
I am wondering if others could weigh in here... I have a porch that needs re-covering (tongue & groove style), and have availability of (green) Birch @$0.25 a board foot, (green) Oak @$0.35 a board foot & (kiln dried) SYP @$1.00 a board foot. I have no idea the weatherability of Oak & Birch. I believe the previous owners used southern yellow pine for the previous covering... Project is a year away, so I should have time to air dry the green lumber.
I'd welcome any input. I'm planning on sealing the porch, but I'm sure moisture is going to leak...
thanks!
