Thanks Tim! By the way, do you have a design preference?
I realize I should explain a couple of other things on the design, as it is unclear...
There is a line near the top of the roof, this represents 2 things:
1. The location of a collar beam which ties the rafter pairs together, and is supported by purlins.
2: the location of the bottom of a snub hip.
Also, the roof includes both the framing of the gable walls and the interior roof framing.
And for comparison, here is a picture of a somewhat larger Stöckli from the Emmental. This gives you something to use to better interpret all of the lines on the two plans.
In the next week I plan on making some detailed frame drawings.
I don't see how it would be possible to create accurate computer models of this building. So I am looking forward to the fun job of creating some hand drawn perspective views!
The walls on this are going to be 7 inches thick, and each cavity will have a 4" deep space for insulation. There will be 3/4" of plaster and clay on the outside, supported by 3/4" (1x4) boards, and on the inside there will be a 1 1/2 inch board that sits flush with the inside face of the timbers.
alternately the posts might be 6 inches deep with the inside boarded over, which would leave a 4 1/2" insulation gap.
The timbers are going to be sealed off with paint and plaster on the outside, and will either be left natural or whitewashed on the inside.
