I have 6 foot and 8 foot lengths. These are what they called trim grade. Not sure exactly what that means but it's going pretty good. Still pissing rain here so maybe do some more tonight yet.
Ours are called “cabin grade knotty pine” and we were able to order all 12 footers.
Make sure you keep your end joints as tight as possible, as they will shrink back. The pine will also yellow as time goes on, if not stained.

They are all getting a love tap with the hammer to tighten them up as much as possible. Most of the 6 foot boards have been sitting in the cabin for over 6 months now. Hopefully not much shrinkage out of them. The 8 foots I just bought Friday before we came up here

What the hell does a guy use to fill the knot holes?

I did nothing with the knot holes. You could fill them in with wax

I fought through not getting a cold last week and now that inspections are done, it’s catching back up to me.

I had a cold when we went to school the Dominican last winter. I hit it hard with Caprahinas for 2 days straight and it decided my body wasn’t worth infecting anymore haha.
