![]() The inner post carries the inner rafters of a double roof & the upper floor joists the outer (taller) post carries the exterior rafters Instead of trying to use a super-thick timber to put two sets of grooves in to form an insulated cavity, use two parallel (smaller) timbers separated by an air-gap of several inches. Similar to the Swiss style shown above that uses T&G slats stacked horizontally & set into vertical frame grooves to make a wall (Bohlenwand?) So I wanted to see if there may be a way to adapt it to a double-wall layout But it is ultimately a single layer of wood, to which daub or secondary paneling must be applied in order to get any degree of insulation or draft-seal (not to mention routing paths for conduit in a modern application) Seemed very simple and straightforward, and seems to have served rather inclimate parts of Europe well enough. ![]() So I looked into wood joinery-based systems, and found this diagram on a TFG thread ![]() Stick-built infill walls w/ plywood or SIPs just feel like cheating. I've been trying to learn about enclosure methods, and just haven't been able to get excited about the daub-styles which seem to require a lot of maintenance & are somewhat limited as far as their design flexibility. That out of the way, I'd like to pick ya'll's brains about an enclosure/framing concept that seems like it might have some merit. The plan is to learn as much as I can over the next several years as I narrow down the design & build up a war-chest, and by then hopefully have a good idea of what all I will be doing myself vs. I've been frantically reading through as many threads with a low enough jargon-density for me to understand what is going on I've no formal training whatsoever in framing, but the design philosophy and craftsmanship really appeal to me as an aerospace engineer and amateur machinist. I'd first like to introduce myself and thank the good folks here for hosting this wealth of information, and making it freely available to everyone.
