post and beam timber frame

[Long reach]

lovely lovely lovely,

 

It's what a lot of us would like to achieve, but few will ever get the chance.

 

Congrats on your work, wouldn't have wanted to tackle it all on my own. i did a barn restoration for English Heritage a few years ago, some of those timbers must weigh quite a bit !

just incase you were wondering were i'm at with this now? currently putting in a concrete block-work retaining wall around the building below ground level, to prevent any ingress of damp (or mountain), and symultaneously (sp) putting up the chimney. and also now making my wife jollop the frame with a home made bio-cide from pine-tar, linseed oil and diesel.

 

previously (last month), in the rain felled and milled a whole load more intermediate posts (40), and some more common rafters (7). (also hewed a couple of the rafters)

 

month prior to that cut chestnut for shakes, carried it out of the forest, cut it into bulks (rounds) and spent 40 days and 40 nights splitting 7000 (yes, 7000) shakes. don't want to do that again, unless i am being paid

Fantastic ! Reminds me of the Grand Designs episode where some guy built his house out of the woodland he owned and worked.

I'm half expecting Kevin McCloud to make an appearance..

 

Keep up the good work !
