[papercreters] Re: Naive Question probably --- RE: Load-bearing walls

yeahyeahyeah LOL,

I am in Canada right now, burning on the edge of my seat....

So is anybody using PC for load bearing walls?? Anybody have experience with two story structures with pc?

By the way, GREAT work, Judith, thank you for your blog, I just glanced through it but will make this my first step "manual".

Have a great weekend everyone!
