My name is Tyler Dixon and I grew up in Twin Falls, Idaho. I have 10 years of valuable carpentry experience. I spent my first 5 years working for a Post-Frame company in Washington state ranging from concrete work, framing, siding, windows, and finish work. Starting from the bottom working my way up to a foreman position managing jobs. After the Post-Frame chapter I was fortunate enough to join the Carpenters Union Local 70 based in the Seattle area. \nAs a Journeyman carpenter, this is where I started to specialize in finish work ranging anywhere from casework, millwork, doors and frames etc. Top notch work was a must in the Union. \nI started Sage Timber Construction with pride and customer service in mind. It’s our job to make sure your vision is brought to life. Never satisfied until it is! \nSage Timber looks forward to working with you!

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them.
You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.
Whether or not it’s easier to cut wood when it’s wet versus dry depends largely on the type of tool you use and the wood you’re cutting. For example, a chain saw should still be able to cut through wet wood with relative ease, but it may be more difficult to maneuver due to the wood fibers sticking to the chains of the saw.
However, you might want to avoid cutting wood entirely when it’s wet if you’re pruning your tree. Sawing a wet tree that you don’t plan on removing can also encourage bacterial and fungal growth and decay.
Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry.
There are several mistakes you should avoid when using butcher block countertops. Don't place hot pots or pans directly on the surface, as this can crack the wood and cause permanent damage. Avoid leaving wet items sitting on the surface, and wipe up liquids as soon as possible to avoid stains.
