honestly

2017-10-08 13:47:54 UTC  

i could probably build a machine out of WOOD to do 90% of that work

2017-10-08 20:37:02 UTC  

I don't know if this has been posted before, but this is amazing and I just wanted to share it.

man that is comfy

2017-10-08 20:42:33 UTC  

In another video he talks about the heating costs of the house. It only requires 5 cubic metres of firewood during the 6 cold months. Which is pretty amazing as well.

2017-10-08 23:58:30 UTC  

Thats amazing

2017-10-09 06:52:27 UTC  

I picture us building houses like that, but prolly simpler, when I watch that

2017-10-09 06:52:32 UTC  

😊

2017-10-09 16:49:14 UTC  

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

2017-10-09 21:06:00 UTC  

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

In a bathrobe

2017-10-10 04:49:57 UTC  

@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 04:04:52 UTC  

my mistake

2017-10-15 04:04:56 UTC  

yes there we go

2017-10-15 04:06:41 UTC  

great video

2017-10-16 03:07:23 UTC  

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
