Does anyone know the ins and outs of building a sugarhouse in NH?
My son lives in NH and wants to build a sugarhouse. So I thought - perfect, I'll saw some logs for him and and he can do it reasonably cheap with rough cut and board/batten siding. Then he made the mistake of talking to his town building inspector. It seems that they only like to build structures that are hurricane proof down there. The inspector told him that he'd need to use graded lumber for the structure and board and batten siding would require diagonal wall bracing with some fancy details. Of course he could get a second mortgage on his house and buy OSB undersheathing at about $40 plus per sheet.
