Tbh I'm very comfy in a simple house

2017-10-09 16:49:28 UTC  

as long as I have a window to look out of when it rains

@John.II and a cup of coffee, with a good book, and a roaring fireplace

In a bathrobe

@Marlow replace that cup of coffee with a cup of tea and I'm good

2017-10-10 04:51:15 UTC  

Tea is also a good choice.

2017-10-15 04:04:56 UTC

2017-10-15 04:06:41 UTC  

great video

tfw want to make a hobby forge in my garage and start metal working

2017-10-16 03:08:30 UTC  

sounds comfy

2017-10-16 03:09:58 UTC  

totally is. I need to remake my forge, possiably use coal instead of propane this time but I need a bigger space for that

2017-10-16 03:10:20 UTC  

what have you made in the past?

2017-10-16 03:10:23 UTC  

got the anvil tho, which is the hardest thing to acquire

2017-10-16 03:11:08 UTC  

nothing yet. I just fucked around with different kinds of metal to see how they work. I also melted copper to its liquid form

2017-10-16 03:11:32 UTC  

I really enjoy stuff like this though. its really fun

2017-10-16 03:12:08 UTC  

post pics if you make more stuff

2017-10-16 03:12:15 UTC  

will do

2017-10-26 19:07:30 UTC  

@Orchid where do we discuss home building techniques and ideas? Is this the place?

2017-10-26 19:07:41 UTC  

yes

2017-10-26 19:09:35 UTC  

I've been really interested in this topic lately. Who else is interested in it? How do people here feel about ancient or classical building methods (timber and log) vs more modern (using OSB and vapor barriers, etc.)

2017-10-26 19:16:56 UTC  

im curious wether log buildings have any advantages over modern methods

2017-10-26 19:17:02 UTC  

I have some ideas for natural building. Modern techniqeus don't appeal to me

2017-10-26 19:17:11 UTC  

I've studied this quite a bit... it depends on how you configure the logs

2017-10-26 19:17:53 UTC  

the main problem with logs is how it traps mosture between logs, so it's better to design them in a way where the logs aren't touching, and you put chinking in between...

2017-10-26 19:18:46 UTC  

log homes, the way they're currently being built, require a lot of maintenance and upkeep, and aren't quite as efficient. I was enamored by them for a long time, until I discovered timber framing

2017-10-26 19:23:32 UTC  

that is a really good channel

2017-10-26 19:50:23 UTC  

yeah he does great stuff

2017-10-26 19:50:39 UTC  

if I were to build a log home, I'd be using his methods

2017-10-26 20:02:07 UTC  

i build houses but why would you want log

2017-10-26 20:02:39 UTC  

everything you see in construction is due to low cost...it also lends itself to simplicity

2017-10-26 20:02:47 UTC
