I’m a home builder and restoration contractor in Colorado. Completely starting over was the best choice, even many “historical” sites have been reconstructed. The stone stacked foundation is an inspiration. (I’ve been following Jimmy Diresta’s restoration project also and I love the look of a period correct stone foundation!) Great job and look forward to seeing more!! Thank you for your content!

Man thank you for this comment! We’ve caught a lot of flack from others (and ourselves) about not keeping every original piece. But these old houses get past a certain point and there’s just not much left. We are trying to use the old school methods with timber and stone to at least keep the history of craftsmanship alive. Really appreciate your comment. Cheers!

The barn in this video looks very scandinavian. Not far from me we have a barn that looks just like the one in this video. And it is just fun to hear that you are going to restore this building you are about to build. Greetings from Kenneth in Norway.

You are absolutely right! Lots of Scandinavian influence here-immigrants came West and settled here. Love your comment. Our big goal is to rebuild the large dovetailed log barn. 🙏 Might be our next project!

I just happened across your channel and watched all episodes you have produced thus far. It is great to see there are still young, hard working, talented, and proficient individuals that take on a project of this kind. Saving a piece of history is very admirable. I look forward to watching this progress. Great work!!

hi nice work, it looks like a lot of fun. im not sure I understand the joint between the sill log and the joists. it looks like you've used a structural screw (or 2? ) too connect the joists too the sill. Why bother with the rebate in the sill log? or the structural screws, you could use joist hangers. the rebate for the joists is not a proper timber frame connection for this application.

@Montana_Ranch_Rescue

We have rough sawn joist hangers on the way (the two structural screws allowed us to lay everything thing out first), thanks for noticing! The sill log was easier to install than the traditional sill plate with an end joist. I also had fun notching the sill logs and it worked for how we intended it to. -Robbie

As the one who built the stone wall that made me crazy 😤 Not great for the wall. haha but it all worked out

Для нашего климата в России, абсолютно не подходящее строение. От перепадов температур и движения грунта в дожди, такое строение развалится за пол года- год. Возможно в вашем климате, такое и будет стоять долго, но по опыту знаю что это не так. Красиво, но не надежно. Фундамент - это основа всего строения! Плохой фундамент = плохое строение! Не стоит экономить на своей безопасности!

Appreciate your comment-The weather is very harsh in Montana too. Dry stone is able to flex without failing. A mortared stone foundation without footings absolutely would collapse and shatter. This dry stone will not. You should have seen the original foundation 😂 just wood timbers set on a couple stones. Lasted 135 years. Good enough for us. But I wouldn’t recommend it for every house. Thanks again for commenting. How are Russian summers? Hot?

Why , didn't you atleast pour a cement footing with rebar to stack your rocks on ? Just because they didn't or couldn't poor a footing 125 years previously doesn't preclude you from doing so today !!!

@Montana_Ranch_Rescue

14 күн бұрын

Haha you and Robbie are of the same mind-we definitely considered it. We even talked about doing a full slab pour. We went back and forth, ultimately though, dry stone foundations don’t require footings like that. Even on big professional dry stone jobs they would not pour wall footings. This is an historically inspired rebuild & wont have big sheets of modern glass or delicate drywall in it. A little movement ain’t gonna hurt this house 🙌🏻
