    HI FOLKS,

    BEEN READING YOUR posts here and am facinated.However I have found nothing to refer to my question. Add to that that somehow I cannot find the link for a new thread so I am posting here.
    I saw a lovely house for sale in the country a few weeks back.I am thinking of buying it. Only afterwards did the auctioneer tell me it is timber framed.Its quite a trip to get there and I will be going to see it again. Only I was wondering if anyone knows anything of the timber framed houses built around this time.(40 years ago)
    I remember the feel of concrete outside so I am presuming it was blocked on the outside. There were also no signs of dampness and overall it looked very cosy. It had a kitchen extension to the back.Solid fuel stove, original I think.
    I dont want to be left with a dying duck so if anyone knows of these old houses please let me know.I know timber framing is still relatively new so I cannot imagine what it was like 40 years ago!!
    Much appreciated,

    Johney
    Hi Johney,

    Please follow this link to find out the basics of the workings of the site. Its the Frequently asked questions thread and might help you in starting your own thread. For now I'll report your post to the attention of the mods and they will probably transfer your post to its own thread where you can get more specific answers and it will also mean it getting more views than it would here.

    Unfortunately I know naerly nothing about TF houses so can't help in any way other than this. Best of luck with your purchase though.

    Okay, my bad. Muffler was quicker on the draw than I was so I have merged the threads to his new one.

    This could go on and on. :D

    Back On Topic....

    Detailing for timber framing for 40 years ago would have been very sparse because of the type of materials available now were not there. I would be very interested to find out about the positioning and state of the sole plates, head plates and ope framings.

    My advice would be to get a structural engineer or AT and open up at least two points on the frame/floor junction and inspect. One on the south side, one on the north side.
