We rebuilt the FIRST WALL! (120 year old house rescue)

You are speaking my language Simone. Let's be friends ok?

@@laurakampf gonna need to know where it's from now. I do have the electric ones at work. This would be far more satisfying

Nice hearing from someone from the business

Ja, das alles mit Holzzapfen und -Stiften zu sehen ist schon eine echte Augenweide. (Yes, it´s a real treat to see it all coming together without the use of metal.)

you'll probably know the answer to this... She talked about the wedges under the sill are to take up the space for all the beams above, but that's not the permanent method right? Otherwise this huge beam along with the rest of the house is really only supported by a dozen wedges right? is the gap under the sill filled with masonry or something?

@@gregpetroski6333 for the gap you usally take some expansive mortar. And add a protactive layer between the materials. This ist also done by modern houses etc. because the baseplate is never completly flat.

Hello, After I checked the foundation I could define how I would solve this. Two options are possible. You could fill the gap with liquid concrete which is able to derive the forces into the foundation or you could fill the gap with metal or hardwood plates. Ist is important that the static forces of the horizontal beam may be derived thrue the wooden beams strait intro the foundation.

and it can be a decoration when the house is ready.

and this is just one of the MANY aspects to Laura's channel that I really appreciate. She's always learning and helping all of us to do the same!

It's because she's a rock star!

Yes, this must be the most satisfying video on the internet 😅

@@friedafeld_rhoolyarn Not only does it look extremely neat, it also holds up a whole house! (Or a quarter of a house, as Laura says.)

do you have any good recomendations for other channels who renovates houses?

@@TheJackpoth Does a house on water counts? Check out Sampson Boat Co

Agreed....including my own!

@@TheJackpoth Check out "How to renovate a chateau", great channel with lots of renovation and humour.

@@TheJackpoth Wabi Sab - E!

That was my thought too. She always manages to find a joke or something to smile about but this video she was beaming from ear to ear the whole time. It was so nice to see.

The satisfaction must be sky high much more as to demolish the old house and build a new one.

with a child smile!

@@styleme3375 Great pun! Beaming from ear to ear while installing wooden beams. 😂👍

quit a bit differed from drywall and plywood isn't it.

That’s what I was thinking, when they uncovered the rot in the sill and the beams. What is holding this house up?

@@lkj974 Concrete plaster, asbestos shingles, and the hopes and dreams of millions of ants?

@@erinfinn2273 😂

I'm guessing the fill material aged better than the beams.

I guess Smudo is worried whether Laura thought on a little mouse-entry so Smudo will find some of them to play with 😉

@@norberts482 currently that looks pretty well catered for. 🙂

I kinda suspect one reason for that is that rebuilding like for like didn't require a lengthy permission process. Personally I'd have been massively tempted to rebuild the whole house in brick but I don't have any personal attachment to timber frames having grown up in brick country.

But the snail almost broke her 😂

Yes. This. A pyrography of your logo with the date would survive as long as the wood. Blood, sweat, tears you've put everything else into it, a sign of your pride and joy would be perfect.

You're not alone. Never have i ever been so emotionally invested in a house reno... 😅

OurLincoln Logs were wood. I thought I heard they are plastic now; if so it makes me sad. I don't remember any joinery beyond the notches at the ends. Lincoln Logs and Tinker Toys, then the graduation to Erector Sets. I never really got Legos craze.

Der Fachwerker does pretty much the same with a considerably larger house, including a new slab instead of the dubious old foundations. He's been pouring that slab in something like 20 sections over the past three years. Around section 18 he discovered that he'd need an entirely new roof because the framing is about as bonkers and unstable as everything else in the house. Much of the ground floor framing was held together with flimsy steel brackets and expanding foam.

Mega, wenn sich zwei Quellen der Inspiration hier noch gegenseitig wertschätzen! Sogar wenn Laura „Rähm“ auf ein Stück Tape schreibt, höre ich dein rollendes R, Matthias. Und auf unserer eigenen Baustelle höre ich dich, Laura, Mel von deiner Baustelle erzählen, atme tief durch und denke mir: „Jau, das schaffen wir auch hier!“ Danke für euer geteiltes Herzblut! Ein Lehrer, Maker(spacegründer), Papa und Bauherr

You made it! Laura's channel is a great inspiration...

You know what they say, "If it ain't broke"

cool geil smooth...wo bist Du entsprungen?
