    We been building with green framing timber here in oz for many years. It shrinks around the fixings making a very tight job. I doesn't shrink end to end.
    Methinks it's shoddy foundations more than green framing timber that makes cracks in walls.

    Most framing is done with radiata now... which not only shrinks but warps, bows and twists to a shocking degree. That makes for a lot of cracks & problems, even on perfect founds.

    Not that I can complain... it's one of the things that keeps me in work.
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.
