I started working at a sawmill about two months ago, I can get rough sawn lumber for dirt cheap. I plan on building a shed this summer sometime. The wood is spruce, I'm not sure what kind of spruce or if there even is different kinds? They don't plane lumber there, so I plan to just buy it rough sawn and plane it myself to save some cash. My questions are, how long should it be air dryed before building with it? I have a smaller shed right now that I could dry it in, but it is uninsulated, if that makes a difference. Should I plane it before drying or after? The wood will be 2 inch and 1 inch, I'm guessing different drying times? Thanks in advance.
