@pastordan I'm sure it uses a ton of wood. But it's a very old multi cousin family farm, so I assume they're still clearing their land.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@emptywheel Not too much old growth left these days. Probably they have some woods they manage diligently.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@emptywheel And mentioning farmhouses reminds me of the basement of the parsonage: the house foundation was massive oak beams on stone.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
@pastordan Our old flat--in 19th C coverted factory--had massive oak beams, too.
