I am refurbishing an old timber frame (4 x 2) bungalow which was sold for demolition. The estate agent had no vision !
I am removing some internal walls and ceilings to create a large living room in the centre, using some big Douglas Fir timbers to take the loads.
I have done a good deal of light timber framing but nothing with timbers of this size. I have some ideas on how I will build the structure but I would be very interested in hints and tips from the trade.
Can anyone recommend a book available in the UK which gives details of the basics of timber framing ?
