I had thought about this for building a house. Did you just store them till they cured? Does framing lumber have to set as long as furniture lumber? Im still trying to justify a mill.
I dry stacked the lumber on 1x1 sticks with old roofing metal covering the top for about a year. After the first floor joists were in, I sprayed everything with termite treatment, then used 1x8 white oak for the subflooring. I did have a couple of beams to sag over time, and had to replace them. They were supporting both floors, and the back half of the roof though. In hindsight, I needed those to be stronger from the beginning.
