Time for another piece of tree

[robgil]

I have two small oak tree trunks in my garden that have been drying for a couple of years now, I intend to use them in the cottage in the round, I'd probably have my leg off if I used an Adze.

how about a pit for some "pit sawn" beams next!

You'll need an underdog, of course.

Job Done.
Transported. A big job on ist own.

Floors up and Ceilings down, just the venitilation we need at this time of year.

note. This is the passage that the hidden door once opened in to.

Joint Cut

Beam and Column Fitted

It does feel good when a plan comes together

Just need the new roof to make it feel like weve started putting it all back together.

Looking good, and hopefully nowhere near the landslide!!

Hi Jocelyn,

Thankfully (for us) the landslide is on the East Side, we've stayed in two of those cottages and seriously considered purchasing when two of them were up for sale a few years ago . Luckily we couldn't afford to buy at the time. It's a crying shame that these historic jet workers' cottages will be lost forever and the famous view will be so drastically altered. Local opinion seems to be that the water board has a few questions to answer. I can only hope that the owners had the correct "holiday cottage" insurance!

That is such a pretty street. I presume agbagb's house is by the vehicle? Lovely! Exciting times!

It's Cliff Street in Whitby. Our house is a little further up, on the narrow bit just opposite the building with the bell.
It's not as grand as the Georgian ones, more of a cozy stone cave.

Lovely looking house and such a charming street too.

Oh agbagbag, you made that beam and column and then put them in? You must be so pleased, I know I would be if I'd done that. Sorry to gush, there must be others on here who've made much greater structural timbers for their houses, but I am impressed. So there.

Hi Wendy--- yes, Alan told me--I was worried for both of you-- he went to photo the demolition before sneaking away to warmer climes! I did wonder if the slippage was due to some kind of heave due to the heavy rains. It is a shame ot loose such lovely cottages.

 

[agbagb]

Hi Jocelyn,

Yes the heavy rain wont have helped but those cottages have stood there for approx 150 years,Whitby's weathered worse storms than that! Take a peek at the Whitby Gazette and you'll see the local opinion. Hmm , warmer climes? I'm sure Andy would appreciate those, I'm off to Chesterfield with a list for thermals etc. tomorrow :lol: :lol: :lol:
