Anyone familiar with building codes in western kentucky regarding the use of rough cut lumber? I'm pretty adamant on cutting my own lumber for Various Projects including some or most of the wood I'll be needing for my home. Any help would be greatly appreciated an thanks In advance

"Western Kentucky" might be too broad such as it would be here in Mississippi.  Our codes are county by county and city by city.  Sometimes inspector by inspector in a county or city.  One may say "OK" on an inspection and another may say "tear it out" on the next inspection.  Get it in writing.

Thankfully where I live and do the majority of my sawing business, there is no problem with codes.  Your blueprint must specify #2 and/or rough sawn lumber and be signed off on by the lending institution, insurance agent, and builder.

There is a current tread "New to the Milling"about this very question posted by a Mississippi member.

Well as far as I know in eastern Ky out out city limits nothing is said against it. Pretty much build with what you want and have.

I can only imagine that the code crap is about like the Permit shenanigans someone is Lining their pockets with some greenbacks. I'm in Davies co. An I have heard they're pretty strict but I should be able to label all my buildings agricultural I have over ten Acres

Another small trade of liberty for security. 

Bureaucrats are doing well by doing good.  How could simple politicians write these codes without the aid of the entities with sizable market share in those products to be regulated?  It's always been an open door to graft. 

It's always the story of why a dog will lick certain things.  It's because he can.

I either think like you or you think like me cause your conclusion is exactly what my conclusion is.  I remember dad telling me one time that they all lobbied that wiskey barrals could not be re-used.  He happened to be cutting stave bolts at the time.

It's only fair.  The whiskey can't be reused either.

I'm in deep trouble with spare time.  I followed MM's link back to "New to the Milling" and found another of his links to "Cabin Addition" and it's got me all the way to laying block (I used to do that as my day job) and I'm only on page 5 of 41, and I'm lysdexic.  Too much here to read.  I will saw today.  I will!
