Anyone built a wobbly building?

[Al Baker]

Al What a great house! As the old people say - heath to enjoy!

 

Its really encouraging to see people have done what we dream of doing some day. May I ask a couple of questions? Did you design it / build it yourself? What kind of foundations did you use? What wood did you use for the board and batten cladding? I assume there is lots of insulation in there?

 

Hi Greame,

Yep this was my dream for a long time.

I designed it with the help of an Architect friend. It's based on a fairly standard Scandi post and beam construction. The foundation is concrete and concrete block with larch sole plate. The post and beam is Larch, the cladding and decking is all heartwood Larch, no sap wood at all. There's 20cm of insulation in the walls. All the wood was locally grown.

Thanks Al

 

Its a really fantastic house, Those scandanavians are smart folks. The larch looks really well.

Bought the Larch from a Mill close by.
