Replacing 200-Year-Old Rotted Beam & Securing with Limestone

During our work in the dark, we were powered by the Othemo 230° LED Headlamps! We found this product on our own, and they have been complete game changers for our work in the dark. We love them so much, we wanted to promote them! If you like what you see, you can follow the link below to the product, and get 10% off your purchase. Happy working! https://othemo.com/products/othemo-he... - - It's been a crazy couple of weeks. Daylight Savings Time is here once again, meaning that our afternoons working at the house have switched to dark evenings, working with headlamps and lanterns in the freezing cold. But we are grateful that we finished what we did when we did. We wrapped up the final segment of our retention wall, for now. In the future, we will extend it alongside the tractor road, but for now, the retention wall is strong and holding back the hillside. This is a particularly huge relief. For the last year, the intrusive thought stayed in the back of our minds, that one large rainstorm would slide the entire hillside down into the Pig Pen, and with it, the wall. But now, the hillside is held back by strong concrete, and the West Wall is held by a strong base. Its an even bigger relief that we have moved onto lumber for the winter. Though we love building with rock, we have been doing so nearly non-stop for 7 months, with a few more weeks of builds ahead of us come spring. Switching gears to lumber, even for a few weeks, is a welcome change of pace. In the last two weeks, we finally began addressing the rotted wood. Admittedly, this task has always felt more daunting than the rock. Rock as a medium is more forgiving of mistakes. Its easier to learn on, and allows for you to undo and redo. Lumber gives you one chance to get it right. Particularly, mimicking the original notching methods from the 1700's, means cuts must be perfect the first time, and they must fit. This is a challenge with worn and weathered beams. The west wall side is the most damaged and most exposed to the elements, meaning the remaining beams have all twisted and creaked. Pairing this with new wood, was difficult to say the least. This first beam is filled with mistakes and mishaps. But we are grateful that we fought through, adjusted, and fixed a bottom beam with no injuries or damage. We learned a lot. And we are excited to apply that knowledge on the next phase. We have a few thank you's to give out for this video. Valentin helped us dig and construct the wall. Metod came out for a few hours to help us get the beam into place. This was a massive help, because we struggled to move the beam from the wood pile to the house by ourselves. Lifting and adjusting the beam alone would have been impossible without injury. And also, our neighbor's happened to be walking by just as we went to insert the beam into place, and our team of four turned to a team of seven. That made it a breeze. We are extremely grateful to our community for their continued support. Its moments like that one, where we remember just how lucky we are to have our community. Hvala lepa Ladi in Metod! Danke Valentin!
