Hello Laura, I am a carpenter and an expert for the renovation of old wooden frame houses.(Zimmerermeister und Restaurator im Handwerk) I am so happy that you used the old traditional technics and that there was not a single metal connector or screws used. Well done and good luck for the upcomming work.

you'll probably know the answer to this... She talked about the wedges under the sill are to take up the space for all the beams above, but that's not the permanent method right? Otherwise this huge beam along with the rest of the house is really only supported by a dozen wedges right? is the gap under the sill filled with masonry or something?

@Jyskall Жыл бұрын

@@gregpetroski6333 for the gap you usally take some expansive mortar. And add a protactive layer between the materials. This ist also done by modern houses etc. because the baseplate is never completly flat.

@zimmi2007 Жыл бұрын

Hello, After I checked the foundation I could define how I would solve this. Two options are possible. You could fill the gap with liquid concrete which is able to derive the forces into the foundation or you could fill the gap with metal or hardwood plates. Ist is important that the static forces of the horizontal beam may be derived thrue the wooden beams strait intro the foundation.

This is so beautiful! My father was a carpenter & when you sharpened the chisel on the block with oil, I unexpectedly teared up. I used to see my father sharpening his chisels just like that when I was a child (45 years ago!) The whole wooden construction, like a giant jigsaw puzzle is so satisfying to see. So solid, practical, simply ingenious & beautiful. 😍

As an American with a carpenter father, I have found this whole series super fascinating. I LOVE that this house was assembled with mortise and tenon joints, and making that crafty cut out sill to install them, pretty slick. I was nervous you might put a bandaid on it, but am super happy to see you're doing this for all the walls. That rot was.... something else. I think your house defied physics with still standing up, heheh.

Don't forget to leave your 'mark' somewhere for the future owners. ;-)

Der Fachwerker does pretty much the same with a considerably larger house, including a new slab instead of the dubious old foundations. He's been pouring that slab in something like 20 sections over the past three years. Around section 18 he discovered that he'd need an entirely new roof because the framing is about as bonkers and unstable as everything else in the house. Much of the ground floor framing was held together with flimsy steel brackets and expanding foam.

Can't wait to see those beams get a good pine tar treatment. It smells so nice, gives a new meaning to the wood texture, and keeps the wood safe and sturdy. I loved doing that while working on the wooden frame of a Viking-age water mill reconstruction as a volunteer in Denmark. The framework technique was very similar, kind of amazing that it has not changed for such a long time.
