Hello Folks,

old Stone cottage walls 3 foot thick. Front wall left standing. The consistency of the other walls which we took down was basically just stone stacked together with dry clay between.
Looking to do timber frame for new walls. Would anyone have ideas or suggestions for securing my timber frame to this old Stone wall? Or indeed securing any type of new wall to it?

Thanks in advance.

I know of someone who did a full renovation of a period home. They basically built a new house inside the old external walls using steel and concrete slabs. I would think something similar for yourself but I ain’t no builder. Build steel frame on inside of old front wall
