I don't know much about these but that isn't a legit stamp. It doesn't identify the mill and it doesn't have a certification number. It just looks like a rubber stamp. SO what is the back story?
Half wonder if it's not a Chinese import thing. The new Prada.
It's ironic that building failures are seldom down to owner/builder using ungraded wood. It's more often large industry companies taking shortcuts to save a few $$. House leaks due to cheap (but trendy) cladding, and untreated wood rots out after a few years. Meanwhile an overbuilt 60 year old house with decent eaves to shed water is fine...
There was a true to life movie of an old guy in Saint John, NB who sawed his own and built his own home.
What did we ever do before we had powers-that-be to take care of us? I don't know, but I'm willing to bet the county building code departments belong to an association that will back them up in court?? Does anyone know?
What the heck is wrong with a vertical log cabin?!!?

Who became the buulding inspector for chippewa county who saw vertical log houses built on stumps and rocks around lakes he visited and figured they all rot. He didnt like em. He wanted me to have signed engineered drawings to proceed. That would of cost more than it took to build the cabin. Find an old very long topic called dreams of a cabin.
Almost as bad as saying you're in for littering
YH, if I have to go to the Big House, I want it to be for something that is a bit crazy and/or dangerous. Running drugs, armed robbery, grand theft auto...I'd hate to tell my cellmate I was in for restamping lumber😂😂
All the parasites appear when real estate changes hands. About the only way around it is to have cash and know what you are buying. Then you can hardly touch the place without more parasites. Everyone wants to be protected at someone else's expense and so we are here.

Don't assume the 1% of retards are in the same league as level headed rural folk. Government takes one case and blames us all for ignorance and stupidity.
This one was from MN. (Image hidden from quote, click to view.)
A lot of it's machine graded now, so "visual" defects don't count.
