What drying runs into in Cody
Serving Cody and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
The typical Cody house dates to 1982, with close to three fifths of the stock (58.7 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly early 1980s work. Around a median of 1982 with under six in ten homes predating 1990, a substantial part of the stock uses heavy timber for beams, posts and ceilings left exposed as the finish, so the wood that takes water is structural and visible at the same time and there is no option to remove it and replace it quietly.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, Cody gets 11 inches a year with May heaviest at 2.65, and the drying season runs from a 27.3-degree December to a 70.6-degree July; rain recorded at CODY 2.4 WSW 2.2 miles away and temperatures at CODY 3 miles away. Five months with lows below freezing put a long split season on the calendar and eleven inches of precipitation in a year makes the air very dry, so a timber that gets wet will release; the risk is that it releases unevenly and checks along its length as it does.
How water losses tend to end in Cody
- Structural timber left exposed as finish, so wet wood can be neither concealed nor swapped out and has to be dried in place
- Large sections of solid wood, so moisture sits deep in the member and surface readings say very little about it
- Very dry air drying the outer face fast, so a timber checks and splits along its length if the run is not controlled
