single wall contruction

[Tink]

I imagine Alaska is too cold for SWF, but ever come across the "old school" post and lintel construction in the forests of Washington? Same type. Lumber camps liked the fast, easy construction, just as Sugar companies did for their "camps". Most cabins on forest land were built similar as well. I would think the plywood edge would be prone to rot, as edge will act like a wick unless Cedar ply is used, but still not as good as the original 1x. If you trim it right, it won't leak or let big bugs in.

Are you a human being, or a human doing?
