Today I thought about adding a few more remarks for the good of the order:
when you think of it --the origins of timberframing go back a long way, when only rough timber was used as a construction median, and loose or joints that were too tight were common during a raising, adjustments were always required.
remember that houses that were built at that time used finishes that accepted uneven surfaces. Lath and plaster could easily straighten up any wall, and make it look like a thousand dollars.
I noticed one remark where the contractor was using a sledge to insert pre made panels.
It seems to me that the frames should still be insulated and then lath and plastered as in the old times, exposing the inside surfaces of some of the timbering.
I really enjoy the hominess and the cosy feeling of the early homes and barns as well as the motherly look--any comments?
