  • Me and my friend Adam have been working on a foundation for a roundwood timber framed shed. we used left over stone from the track to make it. it turned out rather well.
    we also harvested some ash trees and stripped the bark.

    Laying a dry brick wall like that is almost a dying art anymore. Very nice.
    I am trying to pick it up for use later this year.
    Also here to learn some basic roundwood working. Thanks for both.

    Was so excited to see that you had posted a new video. I wish we had gotten a peek at your house. I really like the foundation for your shed. I would say that you are a pro! Everything you've done so far has been a great success. Thanks for taking us along. Blessings...

    Just ran across your vlog. I’m getting ready to build yet another log cabin and wanted to see what was out there.
    I bought some property some time ago with an old farm house on it. Dismantled it and found an old log cabin. Dove tailed corners. 26x26 two stories . Turned it into my master bedroom. Research showed it had been built around 1793 out of chestnut and red oak. Logs were 24” deep and 8.5 “ thick. Whole thing was pegged together. Found musket balls buried in the logs.
    After many years am building another log home and was looking for something simple but elegant and your build fits the bill perfectly.
    You have a real eye for the beauty of naturally grown timber. I am going to copy you as close as I can.
    Good on ya mate !!!!
    Hope you see this comment.

    Hi Kris, I'm enjoying your videos very much. Thanks! I built a cabin in the California desert mountains about 15 years ago that is completely off-grid, so I have some sense of your accomplishments. Hot running water is the first, and most important, mark of civilization and I still get a feeling of satisfaction when I turn on the tap to take a warm shower. You will too, for many years to come. I'm pleased to be a small contributor to your Patreon account and I hope others will help a bit and join you in this adventure. My best regards, Dave

    Take a torch and burnish the logs to waterproof the logs. Well water/bug resistant anyway.

    • @PANTTERA1959
      @PANTTERA1959 7 лет назад +8

      Yes. Been used for 1000s years. It kind of turn sap into a harden varnish & shrinks wood pores.

    • @AngelA-lw2xn
      @AngelA-lw2xn 7 лет назад +6

      PANTTERA1959 Great idea, I've seen shou sugi ban used in other build videos and burnishing and then staining the wood as per the ancient Japanese wood preservation technique does seem to work a treat.

    Dear Kris, I just have to say how impressed and inspired I am watching you do all this. I wonder where you get your strength, what motivates you most? I am doing a similar thing to you and since there is no one else that I know of that's doing it this way, I just LOVE checking in with what you're up to. I'd love to hear a bit more about your general state of mind and spirit while doing this. I've seen the Why go off grid video but I'd love to hear more! Cheers :)

    I've been watching your house building process step by step since the tyre foundation and you seem to be almost self reliant/off-grid already. But what about a greenhouse? I figure you have enough room for it and you could also heat it with solar power during the winter. I imagine you thought about that.

    @KrisHarbourNaturalBuilding good day, i enjoyed your vidéo series. Now that three years have passed ,according to youtube, how is the fondation holding up? I am looking for ways to minimise ciment usage and was thinking about lime and clay as replacements. Your methode is even more basic and it looks very attractive on the vidéo. Looking forward to your response and best whishes for 2021.

  • @Dingbat217
    @Dingbat217 7 лет назад +2

    Nice and easy foundations indeed, but how are you going to tie the timber frame to the ground? Don't you get a lot of wind on top of that hill that could blow the timber frame over if it's not tied to the ground somehow?

    • @KrisHarbour
      @KrisHarbour  7 лет назад +1

      +Morten Mortensen hi, it will be held down by its weight it will have a turf roof and it is in a sheltered location. If it was exposed I would tie it in with some metal brackets.

    can you get away with the foundation just being on the top soil like that? without going into the ground at all?

    • @damienjdp1023
      @damienjdp1023 7 лет назад +2

      I'd also be interested in this. Surely the ground will shift and upset the structure at some point?

    • @kamaartaliaferro6238
      @kamaartaliaferro6238 7 лет назад

      His foundation for the roundwood house was "floating."
      I wonder if he gets hard freezes where he lives.
      Is there a different reason than heaving to sink the foundation in the ground?
      Old sources I've read about building log cabins in the Southern range of the Appalachians don't mention anything about foundations being sunk in the ground--I imagine it's because they didn't worry about heaving.
