I've mentioned here recently several times how much I like Homestead Rescue, not for the reality aspect, but because of the projects.
A recurring theme is cutting down trees, stripping off the branches and bark, popping them in the ground, and boom - building foundation. Connect them up with a few other trees, and you have the basic structure for any building you can clad with pretty much whatever crap you have laying around.
Some trees they mention that this works for are locust, hedgeapple, osage orange, and cedar. I don't know about all of Georgia, but I don't have any of these except for some scrubby cedars. I don't think I've ever seen a cedar over three inches.
Anyone know local trees this would work with? And if you would treat them in any way?
