That's funny, I was there, I installed the roof, and I watched the boards shrink, in some cases 1/2 inch. Now. y'all are telling me it didn't happen.
I was mistaken about one thing, they were 2x6s not 1x6s.
I did use wood from the same sawmill for the floors of that house, t and g yellow pine 1x6s, kiln dried. Same thing, the boards set around for a week or so, under roof, before I could install them.
I didn't realize how much moisture they would absorb.
Months later when I fired up the wood stove, each board shrunk at least 1/8 inch. So, there was at least a 1/8 inch crack between the boards, in some cases more than that.
I learned the hard way, kiln dried wood will absorb moisture from the air.
