Japanese timber frame house extension: interior removable walls.

For our interior walls we used panels made from T&G pine. These get pressed firmly against a gasket of felt and held on by wood trim pieces, and are painted with milk paint. Very practical wall method allowing instant access to any wall void, for any reason without destroying or fixing the wall afterwards.

Lots of questions on the large wall cavity. For those not familiar with the Larsen truss system or the idea of "disentanglement" the idea is you have a void which gives ample room for your insulation and utilities to be installed and accessed independently, so you are not pushing wires or pipes into insulation, and can easily access all for repairs or changes later. If you take 6" for insulation, then 6" for pipes or wires you have 12", that is about the minimum you would want. If you go larger, you can add built in furniture. No floor space is wasted since all this void is created OUTSIDE the frame of the house, if anything its actually increasing useful floor space since furniture is in the walls outside the frame proper.

Curious how the floor will be insulated. was a little suprised that a third layer of insulation wasn't put in running horizontally. In my head this house has is continuously slowly exhaling. The mineral wool will not deteriorate if it get wet- and the slow air passage would dry it out- unless you get some real cold. The bigger gap I can understand if you are going to go back in and add some built in furniture things thinking like a computer room with a removable floor and ceiling . I am now curious if it would be better to circulate the air in the cavity wall- like the do with double wall greenhouses or keep it static.

Mr. Chickadee, very interesting walls. Being able to retrofit installations or make repairs is a very interesting non-destructive concept. However, even though the insulation seems to cover the "outside opening" well, I will still worry these walls might become a harbor for squirrels and other rodents not to mention insects. Have you done something or are you going to do something to prevent their entry? I wonder...

@rayanhorswill6776 2 жыл бұрын

In 1938 my father started carpentry as a sawyer on a huge barn in Illinois. He told me that was a make-or-break job. He made it. Went on to be a contractor. I remember his hand saws, brace, and bits, saw vice to hold handsaws for sharpening, folding ruler in pant leg. So many memories. I'm 79 now, still have the saws, brace and bits, 2 dozen different types of folding rulers. I retired as a carpenter also. I can say that the feel of my tools in my hand became instant knowledge that "it was my saw" etc. The best compliment s my dad gave me "Gerry, you work like I used to", and "l know I told you four boys not to be a carpenter when you grew up, because it was hard work, but, I'm proud that you did" How many carpenters today can cut and frame a roof, or stair Jack's? (Roll those trusses). How about reading a framing square with all rafter lengths, ie commons, hips, Jack's. It's all there. I remember one of my first jobs as a carpenters helper for my Dad. My brother and I stood on top plates while Dad cut every rafter on sawhorses and passed them up to us. That's the day I decided, "now this is what carpentry is all about!" Modern tools are great, so don't get me wrong. Time is money. I started at $1.25 an hour, 2023.....a lot more.... Some of my thoughts that your videos remind me of.

That was running through my mind as well. There's not quite enough space for secret passageways, although it would be more than adequate for Charles (😼) to chase down vermin easily. I'm guessing the answer is in his remark about easy access to wall interiors. There's ample elbow room for adding wiring, pipes, etc. or making repairs. And, of course, dead air space adds insulative value.

Something like 25 years ago I used a modern product that was designed to look like milk paint. It was absurdly expensive and only available in these little 3-in tall cans, not too handy when you're rehabbing an old Victorian. Having now seen the real thing, I'm dumbfounded! That stuff looks like it lays down so nice and easily. Looks fantastic, it's good to hear that older solutions are becoming available again

A concept I've been playing with in my head is a french cleat wall system. Basically the same as the panels you put in, except it is pulled tight to the wall be the cleat with one board at the top to fill the gap that's needed for the vertical movement. All you'd need to do to remove it is stick a putty knife or something in the bottom and lift the panel up and out.

I sure wish this set of technologies, traditional and modern, were spread more widely. I get a sense of great robustness, non-invasive habitation (no foundations), wholesomeness, rationality. this Larsen truss system is very elegant, allowing the occupier to make modifications or carry out repairs, potentially without needing a professional, because pipes and wires are so accessible. that's without mentioning that, perforce, the Larsen truss system must add to the structure's rigidity. beautiful. if I had the budget for land and building I sure would look at this set of technologies for my home.

@offspringer100 2 жыл бұрын

it is based on lime which activates the casein in the milk to form a bond that is waterproof after it has dried. For making your own paint use this: 0,3 liter of low fat milk or 12g casein powder (mix the casein powder with a little water and let it sit for one night) 12g of colored Pigments of your choice 120g of chalk (powdered) 2 Tee spoons of slaked lime (which has been stored at least for three years) First mix the lime with the milk/casein powder. A chemical reaction takes place that generates a little heat and causing a milky smell. After they have been mixed well, add other ingredients. Casein paint is able to bind far more more pigments then simple lime paint (slaked lime and water) thus you can get much more saturated colors with casein paint. Do not apply on moist walls that will stay wet for a long time ince the casein might start to mold before it fully cures. Use the fresh mixed paint in one or two days (store in the fridge). After two days the paint is not useable anymore.

@jayecurry1369 2 жыл бұрын

Milk paint is a very old technique. It was done by adding colouring to milk and using it to paint walls, or whatever. You can buy a milk paint powder to mix with water. It comes in a number of colours. Oh, it's an interior paint I believe. I loved watching it done here.

If you go back to the enclosing the frame video, the exterior wall is built out away from the timber frame. If I remember from the last build where this was used, the air gap serves multiple purposes: lets the wall breathe, less thermal bridging, and I'm sure there are more.
