Redwood is not well adapted for floors and members 

 designed to carry heavy loads. Except for narrow buildings 

 in tho southern part of the State where there is no snowfall, 

 redwood should not be used for rafters; neither should it 

 be used for joists in barns or dwellings where sill centers 

 are greater than 6 feet.
