The Birth Of A Wooden House

  • This is a documentary movie uncovering the process of building a wooden house with hand tools from local materials starting from forest till the living space.
    I built my house from trees that I felled with an axe and two man crosscut saw in my own forest. I did it following the research of old carpenter's calendar that coniferous trees should be felled in January's first days when the new moon rises and the deciduous trees should be felled in the winter time during the old moon. In winter time trees are sleeping and the juice and moisture content is very low in them. As time passes timber felled in winter becomes light and strong.
    In the building process I used mostly traditional carpenters hand tools - axes, hand saws, timber framing chisels and slicks, old Stanley planes, augers, draw knives and mostly human energy. All the ground work for fundaments and the basement earth digging was done by hand with shovels. The foundation consists mostly of bigger and smaller rocks and boulders. Lime, sand and concrete mixture are using only in small amounts - to hold the boulders together. The visible part over the ground level - boulder mosaic has been masoned with hand split local granite.
    The House has been built based on the western part of Latvia - Kurland/Kurzeme (German influence) historical wooden architecture typical technique - Timber Frame construction with sliding log walls between the posts. House is two carpentry technique union - Timber Frame (that is typical in France, Germany, Great Britain, North America and other countries) and traditional Latvian log building technique, between the logs using moss from the local swamp.
    In the walls, timber frame and roof construction there I used only wood joints and wooden pegs to hold the main construction together - no nails, screws or steel plates. Walls are insulated with 250mm thick dry pine and larch shaving layer (leftover from the local cabinet makers workshop). Overall exterior wall thickness is 50cm. In the walls (except wind vapour breathable membrane over the roof) has not been used any plastic or modern synthetic materials.
    To preserve the wood from the spoiling, fame posts, sills, top beams and final cladding boards are treated with fire and pine tar mixed with Tung oil. This wood preservation technique was adapted from the Japanese traditional wood preservation technique Shou Sugi Ban (焼杉板).
    Exterior cladding boards recoating each 10-15 years Tung oil and pine or birch tar mixture, the house can last more than 500 years. As an example is taken Norwegian stave churches that stands more than 500 years until nowadays.
    Roofing is three layer white oak shingles (each 10mm thick, 120mm wide and 720mm long) laid in two directional technique. Overall amount of shingles used is 15 000 pieces. Roof walls are insulated with ecological wood fibre wool and wood fibre panels. Over the wood fibre panels are plastered natural plaster - mixture of sand, clay powder, lime, linen fibre, salt, wheat flour. Overall thickness of the plaster is 20mm and over all amount of plaster used on the walls are 5000 kilos. It works also as thermal mass and improves energy performance.
    Exterior measurements of the house is 6.5 x 13 meters. Living space in both floors are 120sq/m. The house is being heated with clay plastered brick bread oven and smaller oven made of clay tiles in the kitchen. To heat up both floors of the house, when outside it is minus 10 degrees (Celsium) only small oven is heated once a day. When freeze gets below -15, -20 C, we heat up the bread oven. Once it is heated, because of it’s thermal mass of 5 tons, it keeps the warmth 2-3 days. To heat up all the house (120 sq/m) in the winter time we use not more than 4 m3 of dry firewood. This is 2nd winter we are living there and we still heat up the house with the leftovers of lumber from the building process. And it will be enough for 3 more years.
    I have fulfilled my vision to a build natural, ecological house with high thermal efficiency, low energy consumption, sustainable, using local materials such as - wood, stone, old and new clay bricks, moss, linen fibre, clay, water, lime, wheat flour, salt and wood shavings.

Even if you’re tied to a mortgage, take up a hobby like carpentry. Once you learn some basic skills you’ll be amazed what you can create.

      MWC... build your dream with the revenue from your work. My dream was to own an old farmstead. It took 3 years and many miles to find what I want. 12 acres and an old 1810 house with good bones but lots of work - total restoration. I started in 1992, December at age 27 and am still working on it today... you do that with old houses. You look and listen and it will tell you many stories. I learned through much reading, much looking and visiting old houses and asking many , many questions and offering help to learn. So today, I had planned beads(drip edge) on clapboard to replace some with rot, using a wooden plan. Found some old square nails that I haves collected and bought over the years to use as well... all period. I have a great wood working shop, small forge shop and even an outdoor pizza oven on 12 acres overlooking the sea. I have had struggles, frustrations and times of challenge. BUT, it has all been part of the life I have wanted and learned from. From raising my own food - gardens and animal husbandry - to celebrating warm summers and cold winters, it is all part of the cycle. You can do this... anyone can do this. You have to decide and go forward... My job was high stress with hourly, daily and weekly deadlines working is an industry that provided to the masses mindless entertainment at times. That is all behind me. You can do this!!!!!

      @dusshan1 Před 4 lety +8

      @Qwerty123 i am wondering how the world would be if those billions of us would suddenly decide to quit their current jobs and start living their dreams. Would there be someone to craft us the tools? would there be food? what about clothing? to me answer is straght - yes, yes and yes. At this state human population is very very very very comfortable.. and we somehow trade that comfort for our life wasted between 4 walls in an office. What technology promised 100years ago is somehow not happening yet it makes our life easier for a price. its never too late though. Of curse not everybody has skills of a carpenter but one does not need school to learn, of course not everybody can live in a wooden house, but there is a place for a change everywhere. imho the office life is slowly killing one's spirit talking from my own experience. I am young, we want a family and start somewhere but at the same time i feel i need jump out of that corporate bullshit circle soon.. chasing something that will never come. these empty spaces cannot be filled by money or material things. The best of luck to you and all! Lets live our dreams!

    "HOLY MOSES !" I've been working with wood in the forest, and professionally for fifty years with many other skills i've accumulated over decades. I have met many great craftsmen in that time. These young men are amongst the most skilled, tough, and resourceful i've ever seen.You all should be so proud. It's like going back to the middle ages, when such skills were more common, and a matter of life, and death.This video is a treasure. It should be shown in every school on earth and in places like the Smithsonian Institution to preserve these techniques for the world. That's if our human civilization lasts more than a few more generations. This is the sign of a life truly lived, creativity, craft, endurance, consciousness.
    This film is a masterpiece in several ways, and on many levels. The girls running barefoot through the grass was worthy of an academy award. The house is magnificent, architecturally, aesthetically, practicality, energy efficient, and most importantly a cultural gem. What do these guys eat, ants and sand? Theres not an ounce of fat on them. The film and the project is cosmically fantastic. I hope this beautiful family lives a very long happy life here. Please do a book, or send this video to the Smithsonian. I'm going to contact them if you don't.

    My late husband was a farmer and a master carpenter of houses and other buildings but not using this technique. I took movies of him building many things for our children to remember. He was am amazing man and could do anything. If you were ever on a deserted island you would have wanted him with you. This video gave me the same feeling. My heart is singing today watching your video! Thank you.
