For you professional carpenters and contractors. I am reviewing a specification for a construction project where lumber framing may be involved. What is considered to be the acceptable maximum moisture content for construction lumber for framing by the construction industry? Cabniet makers normally want wood at 7-9% MC but I don't know what is standard for construction specifications.
Is it the same for plywood? Does treted lumber have a different MC level than softwood untreated lumber?
