especially since for you, a guy with experience building many homes, that's what you know
I have no idea at all what it's like to build a home
so for me it's just pure fantasy in my head
it's pure romance
so I romanticize the process of homebuilding, doing it like my ancestors did, with a mallet and chisel, the slow, steady, methocial way
the same way I write code, lol
well its also the acreage wouldnt allow for timberframes by me ...but couldnt you add fake beams to a regular stud wall and be like look honey its just like the pictures etc
lol
you might be right
but there's something about the real thing
about handling the real structural timbers with your hands and manipualting them, and carving existence and memories from them
i agree its really cool i just never saw it done right and i never was in one to begin with...i always see small bathrooms, weird kitchens without enough counterspace and low ceilings ...fix that and youre good
cuz you're totally right, man... there are many easier simpler ways to build a house
i just dont see good floor plans
yeah I know what you mean
and there are many older homes that are timber frames, that have older standards of accommodation
you know what I mean?
yeah i feels you
like I live in Utah and there are houses out here built a 100 years ago people are still living in
the kitchens and rooms all feel so small
kind of like when my ancestors came to the US they were a good half foot shorter at least on average than i am
but back then people were just happy to have a warm place in the winter
Yeah I'm a tall guy... I need 8' walls at least
like a full bed might be nice for some people but i just dont fit comfortably
yeah
but if you were living back in the day, on the American Frontier, you're basically camping
and you'd be happy sleeping on pretty much ANY bed
its a paradox where big strong men want to build homes that smaller weaker ones design but they dont realize until its too late the house isnt suited for them
that's kind of what I mean... I like seeing how far we can go pairing things down to the bare essentials
yeah I'm pretty thorough. I don't think that'll happen to me
I have a pretty good lay man's overview of basic archtectural principles, and layout design. We'll just have to see
but it is something I want to get good at
I don't want to build junk, so I'll have to spend a few grand getting educated
i dont doubt that you do and its super easy to visualize or markout if you alreasy have the ability as an artist
yeah man, and I'm a sketchup pro
lol
I think if you plan the house out well at first, you won't have floorpsace issues, in spite of the thicker walls
well that was about logs construction the walls are an issue
timber frame has the same floor plan issues but you can make a larger home but you are bound by timber length etc
i also dont usually talk to people about these things so could you give me feedback ..orchid obviously thought i was being a dick
I think he was just worried you were going to pick a fight
