/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Yes, that's not the correct way to repair your floor.

The tree could be protected

>>2558608
Surely my chain saw could cut through any protection a tree could muster.

>>2558609
yes but the government might give you a 5 figure fine

time, the wood needs to be seasoned/dry slapping in a piece of wet wood will shrink with connectors being so good now a days it will pull your house with it.

I hate this art style and the Antichrist

>>2558707
you hate trump? so do I.

>>2558629
I am aware it would need to dry, but approximately how long would that take? is this a couple weeks or a couple years?

>>2558608
I already have a permit to cut it down, its just a matter of if i can use the wood myself or not. If not its just going in the firewood pile

>>2558792
If you're making 2x12's or whatever then they will be ready to use in a few months. If you're making thicc ass beams then you might want to let them dry for a year or two.
Depends on the climate too.

>>2558792
It's one year per inch. Since you'd want something thick for framing a floor, that's not gonna happen anytime soon.
Also I kinda morally object to someone that clearly has zero clue cutting down an oak tree to make something with it that very likely won't work

>>2558798
The tree already needs to be cut down you tree hugging nigger, the purpose of the question is asking if i can recycle it or not

If it's your house and you have a sagging floor, then I don't see any reason why you couldn't do what you're thinking. Anything is better than just letting it get worse

How big is this tree anyway? I know a guy with a big band saw that cuts trees into slabs or whatever they call em, you could prolly make enough money selling those to buy some plain ol 2x6s for your floor joists. Or just sell off the tree to a guy who is into that shit. Or sell the wood off to guys into BBQing, or for firewood, or whatever other shit

But yeah, cut that fucker into roughly 2x6s and use them, I'd do it just to see how it works out

>>2558543
the local jews probably made it illegal through copous amounts of 'evniromentar regubations xD'

if i want to cut down a tree on my property, i have to first inform the county, after they approve me using my own property, I then inform every neighbor that i am chopping down le tree so that their fee fees do not hurt and so they arent scared by the noises and so they can have enough time to file a formal complaint about me doing things with my own property if they disagree with the chop chop.

>>2558834
if you have to ask you certainly can't do it lol
fucking idiot

>>2558750
newsflash mr. beast is the antichrist. did you not see him /diy/ a bunch of peoples' eyes?

>>2558543
Yes trees are made of wood

paying for eye surgery is not a miracle.

It needs a government stamp to be within code.
