90% of new homes are stick built and I'd take the "over" that 98% of those are pine

#

stable and cheap, if you can do cheaper than pine then you certainly could

this is not my image clearly

softwoods are common for a reason

#

im sure finishing it would help but ive never done anything this big

#

spruces, firs, pines

#

but really anything you've got will be fine

hardwoods are going to weigh a shit load more, though

#

no, those are all fine and commonly sought

#

ive seen alot of videos especially coming out of california (idk why there) of pine siding swelling and shifting, could that just be the humidity in the wood?

that would be my best guess
