Framing hemlock green

[ctwatertrapper]

I've been getting mixed reviews about framing with Hemlock. Should I wait until the wood is dry or can I use it green?

I'll be using mostly 4x4's and 2x6's to construct a 12x16 shed out of rough cut hemlock I'm having milled. Any suggestions?

My family, and I have a saw mill, we have always found that green hemlock is a lot easier to work with but does shrink a little, but dry hemlock, you almost have to drill it before you try to drive a nail in it!! It's hard, for soft wood,
