Wow! That’s awesome

When the focus is on R value, the structures suffer in integrity. Tape, Styrofoam, and plastic sheets dont make for a long lasting home. Also, all those products are environmentally terrible. All those toxins to so you dont burn natural gas or propane. Ridiculous

It's a log cabin.

I wonder how many trees made this house

Cribbing

Oh. My. Lord. They used to build houses to last 300 years back then. Today, they're made of popsicle sticks and prayers 😂

Damn bro catch your breath lol

Yes but a modern house will fall down in less than 100 years. You can insulate that house to a R-12 value without it falling down for a long while.

Termite heaven!

You can still add insulation to the outside or inside.

Spray foam Checkout what's happening in the UK with spray foam. Good luck to you. It's the next asbestos

"Hey studfinder, where is the stud in this wall? Studfinder: "Yes"

Dont be an R-Tard

When a wall is solid construction. Thermal mass comes into play. If it's solid wood. Its mass holds heat more then just using R values accounts for. A ten inch thick wood wall is just about ideal. Its thermal mass is about the same as a stud framed wall insulated to R30. Even though it's R value is roughly R10. My house built in the 60s is falling apart. This is exactly my plan for replacement on the same foudation. I need 348 10 foot boards for my 1,374 square foor house.

was probably part of a grain storage structure adjacent to the original house. They couldnt afford to use wood like that except for grain storage.

that don’t look like any 2x6

This house scoffs at tornadoes

You lost me at spray foam.

I think they stacked lumber because they thought it was stronger. They wanted to build like a log cabin. Plus, it's fast and no heavy lifting.

“Wood costs? I didn’t know it cost anything”🤣💀

Are the 2x6 build more sturdy?

I want to know the nailing pattern for a "stud" wall. Idk material cost back then but this feels horrendous in any time lol

That house would've still been expensive to build back then.

A termites dream

What happens when foam burns. Don't breath

But it has thermal mass

Bullshit

Better insulation, but, none of the houses you build will still be standing 100 yrs from now. Hell, ive seen new houses get serious cracks not even one decade after completion. New builders are a joke in terms of built to last.

new houses today can also be almost completely destroyed with just a baseball bat. Paper construction.

That house is a tank though

Insulating an interior wall with anything other than a sound dettoner is pointless, correct me if I’m wrong.

That 2x6 wall system is a log cabin built with milled lumber. Strong as the mountain despite any shortcomings. 👍

😊 I was studying AC and refrigeration methods, devices, and related topics for years years ago. Thoughts followed concerning such things as global warming, costs of energy, instrumentation, and controls. The idea grew in me that technology, commerce, materials, and implements had reached a plateau. I believed there was nothing left to change or to improve. But I yet believed there was a limiting factor remaining that blocked further progress for the masses. I slept on it. The limiting factor remaining after all other details had been worked out was the wall thickness of the 2 by 4 wall system. The R values depended upon layers of thermal blockade. It turned out I could simply double or triple the exterior walls thicknesses to multiply R values. I haven't done it yet but if I simply remove my interior wall panels on walls that have exterior exposures, I can increase the frame thickness and add in more insulation and different types of insulation materials. R 50 or even R100 is not out of the question. Later it occurred to me that I could leave the paneling on the walls and simply build new walls over them on the inside or outside.

May get cold or hot because no insulation but bet that some bitch is the sturdiest damn house you can buy the whole damn wall is a stud no dumb ass friends going through that wall on accident.

Yeah and that wood won’t be found to give you cancer 10 years from now either

A 2 x6 log home. Interesting. Selling point.. no stud finder needed!!

Lack of nails but plenty of trees

It is not only about the insulation in traditional terms( how fast will warm air travel through the wall) but also about the thermal mass of a wall. This wall has a much higher mass than a spray foam isolated wall. Thus it takes it longer to heat up in summer(heat protection) an it stores much more warmth in winter when you heat up the house.

Not much insulation but better quality than what is done now. Like everything else. Look at that osb crap you're about to slap on there. Garbage.

This type of wall might pose a small safety risk during high winds or floods, but I’d get the hell away from that during an earthquake!

Thats the way they build grain elevaters , i think its for strength and containment of grain dust explosions

Some house use old poster wood I found alot of this behind the wall like cans of coke

Nate! This building looks awesome. I might need you to build me one soon! -Luke Wyse

Cool, Never seen crib construction for a house. That is how wooden grain elevators were built.

You could tear that down and frame a few houses with all those 2x6's

In Finland it is illegal to build R-17 (log cabins are exception to the rule). Thst was standsrd in the 70s, but new buildings are required to have st least R-23.

This makes putting up curtains super easy.

Log cabins didn’t have insulation either. I bet the r value is closer to 10.

This house heats and cools by use of radiant heating. Once the wall get hot they radiate heat back into the house. They dont use the contanment that the new houses use to resist the loss.
