Log cabin restoration - strengthening bent log house wall with support beam / follower. Self made timber frame with pine wood and hand tools.
More info: Subtitels & open here down!
------------------------------
- What is it good for?
This support beam will keep the wall from bending more. It is used in old buildings which got weak with time or in case of adding bigger windows or additional doors which would weaken the wall.
- Why was the down carved out instead of using the beam to straighten the wall?
A support beam can be used to straighten a not straight wall.
In this case i prefer to keep the wall as it is. It has been stable for many snow intensive winters, so it will be as it is. the bent does not disturb me as it will be under the floor.
- Why are the wholes for the screws bigger than the screw?
The log wall and the support beam will not grow and shrink (according to different moisture of the seasons) in the same way. It is important to let them do it in their own way. The beam is fixed to the wall at the down end. Above, both can grow / shrink independently.
