I’m a home builder and restoration contractor in Colorado. Completely starting over was the best choice, even many “historical” sites have been reconstructed. The stone stacked foundation is an inspiration. (I’ve been following Jimmy Diresta’s restoration project also and I love the look of a period correct stone foundation!)

Man thank you for this comment! We’ve caught a lot of flack from others (and ourselves) about not keeping every original piece. But these old houses get past a certain point and there’s just not much left. We are trying to use the old school methods with timber and stone to at least keep the history of craftsmanship alive. Really appreciate your comment. Cheers!

Appreciate your kind comment-ha, there are some negative people out there 🤪 I loved building this foundation & I know it is rooted in sound historical practice. I’d build it again any day. Thanks again for your thoughtful comment.
Wow! You guys are making life memories for your children. Picture this. When MS Maggie is old and gray, sitting in a rocking chair made by her parents, by a wood stove in old Uncle Dans cabin, with her greatgrad kids sitting on rugs on the floor, "Gamie Maggie! Tell us a story from when you were a little girl!" And MS Maggie says " When I was a little girl, about your age, my patents helped me rebuild and preserve this very cabin we now sit in.". Just something for you to look forward to. Jon
Having visited my wife’s family farm in Pennsylvania and a barn claimed to be built in the 1600’ s. Observing it was built with no nails and literally mud and small stone foundation, my thought is that many crafts man could teach modern engineers a thing or two about durable construction. My family owns a three story barn in Colorado with a log only first floor level. Sits on s few stones. Built in or around 1914. How many buildings built now will have that longevity . Kudos for your old ways!
10:06 John's eyes lit up when he saw this tool! I think I may have just found his next birthday present. What is that thing? He doesn't have one so... you know he needs one! Haha What a huge job to stack all that rock and, I agree, the silence is beautiful. Just meditative stacking... so zen. And then the kids come to help... 🙂 We have Sand Hill Cranes here, too. I'm afraid to say, but I think I may have heard some this morning. I'm not ready! Probably just turkeys.
It is the coolest strangest thing! What does Robbie call it… 🤔 A beam saw! Pretty sure that’s the name. Perfect for cutting dovetails in logs or for whatever random project these men invent 😍
Hi Jessie & Robbie 🇺🇸, Some historical items found on the property liked the small whisle great pip after all these years in the ground, Wel the ground foundation stands with the floorbeams and the floor bearing crossmembers.You guys are blessed with an great talent to do this rebuiling cq reconstruction of uncle Bens Cabin, your determination will to do this project is admireble, It`s give`s me great pleasure to follow the rebuilding to the finnish be seeing you in te next ep, With the best greetings,from Hubertus 🙏🏻🇳🇴🇳🇱👍🏻☮🍀🇺🇸
The barn in this video looks very scandinavian. Not far from me we have a barn that looks just like the one in this video. And it is just fun to hear that you are going to restore this building you are about to build. Greetings from Kenneth in Norway.
You are absolutely right! Lots of Scandinavian influence here-immigrants came West and settled here. Love your comment. Our big goal is to rebuild the large dovetailed log barn. 🙏 Might be our next project!
I love this type of work! I couldn't tell how the floor supports were connected to the outer main frame base (sorry I don't remember the right terms) - I could see they were initially able to slide down and past them onto the rocks, but then you did something to keep them level with the outer frame - just wondering what it was!
Love your comment! Thank you 😊 Robbie took long screws and came through the outside of the beam to hold the floor joists in place. Then he came back with metal joists hangers. Maybe overkill, but working alone makes you get creative.
hi nice work, it looks like a lot of fun. im not sure I understand the joint between the sill log and the joists. it looks like you've used a structural screw (or 2? ) too connect the joists too the sill. Why bother with the rebate in the sill log? or the structural screws, you could use joist hangers. the rebate for the joists is not a proper timber frame connection for this application.
We have rough sawn joist hangers on the way (the two structural screws allowed us to lay everything thing out first), thanks for noticing! The sill log was easier to install than the traditional sill plate with an end joist. I also had fun notching the sill logs and it worked for how we intended it to. -Robbie
No mortar? Cold air will fill space under flooring, it will be cold unless dirt is piled up against rocks. If I am a builder, I will mix ash with red clay and use as mortar. Not as good as cement mortar, but better than no bonding at all.
question about dry stone walls: do they not experience heaving during the winter? and how do you seal the wall so you dont end up with water in the middle?
Good question: dry stone walls do move, but the theory is that they can manage moisture better than mortared walls. They don’t trap water and then heave. They allow the water to filter away. And the locking of the stones keeps the wall together over time.
Beautiful cabin build. Is there a need for a vapor barrier or wood preservative for the sill ? It’s such a nice cabin it would be a shame for it to decay prematurely. Maybe Montana has a more arid climate than I realize.
Great comment-very good question, and to be honest it’s all an experiment. The theory is that in our arid climate, the pine and stone foundation SHOULD breathe and shed water rather the trap water. This, no rot. Part of why we made the beams so big & beefy is that we expect rot to eventually come, and the sheer size of the beams will help slow any structural failure. Ha it’s an old fashioned foundation! We will see 😉 Thanks again for a great comment
Good question: the forests on the ranch are actually in need of some responsible thinning at the moment. Taking some trees allows the others to grow healthier. We’ve noticed some disease in the pines here (rampant throughout Montana), so getting more light and air in helps a lot 🌲
did ya weigh all that stone? where did the 22 tons come from? I ask just because it looks like more than that too me....though I'm better calibrated to estimate gravel of sand...so maybe I'm just off for stone. Either way, I like what you're doing! ps-- love that you dadod the beams for the floor joists, no hangers needed!
@@mtraven23 hahaha very clever 😉 Who know, a better title would have been 100 tons of stone 😂 Thanks for watching & jumping into the comments. I’m hoping to do stone steps soon
I have seen many stacked stone fences and foundations that shift with time, earthquakes and vibrations. How do you prevent that without using cement or something to hold it together?
You’re absolutely right. I always think of the Robert Frost poem about repairing stone walls… They will shift. Of course, the level heavy beams on top help to hold the stones with downward pressure. I would not try this foundation on a modern house with big glass windows and electrical. It’s worth a try here though.
@@Montana_Ranch_Rescue Many years ago cement and modern glues were not available. Following ancient methods seem foolish when we have better materials available today!
You are right. We have only ever found one arrowhead, by a beautiful stream up the valley. I believe people say it was shared hunting grounds for many tribes, and then eventually this area was home to the Métis. A whole way of life truly gone.
Fuck the haters! Unbelievable to be hounding you about using concrete and “modern glued” this is eco friendly, strong, and has character… and will obviously last, the locked big dimension timber will distribute the weight evenly onto the foundation. Especially for a simple ranch house out in the plains. I lived a few winters in paradise valley. Montana is beautiful, maybe I will move back one day .
Cheers!!!! Love your comment 😁 Montana is a treasure-glad you know its ways 🙌🏻 This humble building will be laughing at the skyscrapers that fall before it. Best to you!
@@Montana_Ranch_Rescue The poem you read was in the Movie the Outsiders - (google 'stay golden ponyboy). Looking forward to watching the cabin come together.

Depends on where you’re at-giant state. Yellowstone has lots of small seismic events. We are right smack dab in the center without much worry about earthquakes
As a structural engineer I can say, that the foundation is unacceptably shallow, and with that no-mortar masonry it is a catastorous disastrophy. "Poor" is a word not strong enough for the design of that building. Never follow it!
@@Montana_Ranch_RescueThe Incas built this way. The structures are still there thousands of years later and are globally important structures 👍 Good job 👍
As a structural engineer you’re bound by “code” and “simulation” this is tried and true and some of the structures that used this technique are still around after hundreds of years, and they’re less invasive to their surroundings. Nothing is permanent.
@@shinersunlimited6123 Man, cheers, appreciate your comment very much. I wouldn’t build a skyscraper on this type of stonework 😂 Though, as you said, there is a long history of using these techniques & they do in fact hold up over time. Hundreds of years for many of the better built examples. God willing this one will last at least a handful of years 😉
@@next0845 Cheers, I agree with you-people from history KNEW how to build with stone. Not always necessary to do structural computer simulations and throw concrete at a project like we do today 😂
Для нашего климата в России, абсолютно не подходящее строение. От перепадов температур и движения грунта в дожди, такое строение развалится за пол года- год. Возможно в вашем климате, такое и будет стоять долго, но по опыту знаю что это не так. Красиво, но не надежно. Фундамент - это основа всего строения! Плохой фундамент = плохое строение! Не стоит экономить на своей безопасности!
Appreciate your comment-The weather is very harsh in Montana too. Dry stone is able to flex without failing. A mortared stone foundation without footings absolutely would collapse and shatter. This dry stone will not. You should have seen the original foundation 😂 just wood timbers set on a couple stones. Lasted 135 years. Good enough for us. But I wouldn’t recommend it for every house. Thanks again for commenting. How are Russian summers? Hot?
Se nota que no tienen la cultura de construir con muros de piedra, pues no lo está haciendo bien. Yo española, en donde vivo, siempre hemos hecho los cimientos con piedra. También paredes.
Una forma de edificar estúpida. Demasiado largo los comentarios que hacen las personas. Esto que se sube por RUclips, es para mostrar como se edifica una casa, no para ver a la gente que la hace, es totalmente ridículo y perverso.
I hear that. I even made a whole cut of this episode with no music, but, it’s a tough call. People seem to like background music. Even great movies have soundtracks… Appreciate your insights. I follow no music/pure work content and love it.
Why , didn't you atleast pour a cement footing with rebar to stack your rocks on ? Just because they didn't or couldn't poor a footing 125 years previously doesn't preclude you from doing so today !!!
Haha you and Robbie are of the same mind-we definitely considered it. We even talked about doing a full slab pour. We went back and forth, ultimately though, dry stone foundations don’t require footings like that. Even on big professional dry stone jobs they would not pour wall footings. This is an historically inspired rebuild & wont have big sheets of modern glass or delicate drywall in it. A little movement ain’t gonna hurt this house 🙌🏻

That is honestly a very good idea-historically probably lots of pioneers did that exact idea. Very clever
Didn’t the old-timers put a coin in between the foundation on one corner for good luck on the buildings?
We wondered that ourselves! Looked all over but no luck 🤔 We are going to hide one in the walls… or maybe the stone steps that I plan to build next 🙌🏻
