Folks.
I'm asking for your help with my dissertation research into Timber Sole Plate repairs to Timber Framed buildings, for an MSc in the Conservation of the Historic Environment, that I've now reach the 3rd year of!.
I'm particularly looking to tie together not only the timber repairs, but the work required to the plinth and foundations, as existing literature does not really tie these together. There is also the conservation issues surrounding such work.
I'm looking for home owners that have had such repairs carried out in recent years and that would be willing to answer a short questionaire on the work and/or act as a case study for the dissertation. I also know there are a number of experts and craftsmen that visit this board and I'd also like to hear from them, if they are willing to contribute further.
I've not been on this board for a while now - too much spare time has been taken up studying, but I will trawl through previous posts and also the 'Seeking Specialists' section for possible contacts.
You can PM me, or email me at pp@petley.co.uk and I'll be pleased to provide more details, including contact details at the college, if you want to check the validity of this research.
Thanks
Clive
