300 Year Old House Gets a New Roof - renovation / reconstruction Pt-1

[@elainecollins9565]

Many different designs for each type of project are also included. For example, there are hundreds of designs kzbin.infoUgkxb2mhCug-GkCWrq69Ce2I0nM0D4QpxAqu for outdoor buildings, from small sheds all the way up to a complete stable. Choose whatever type of shed or storage house is right for you. Pick from fancy ones or more utilitarian designs.

[@CoronadoBruin]

Stihl chainsaws, Hilti concrete drills, Stabila levels, and an old Skilsaw. Quality tools are the same on both sides of the Atlantic. Beautiful work as always, and there's no more beautiful sea than the Adriatic.

[@lignumchannel]

The sea is beautiful i must agree.🙂 And the tools are old classics. Skillsaw is probably close to thirty years old and I never saw anyone using it here except us, I think you could never buy it here but a fathers friend brought it here from the US. The best circular saw. We have some relatives in Fort wayne so we went to visit them in 2000 and I remember seeing it on a store shelf there somewhere for 99.99$🙂

I have a Stabila level that is inaccurate out of the box. You can get a good level from the dollar store that is accurate for less money

[@ot0m0t0]

Couple pointers: The 3 beams on top of the widow, not much left after you cut them to fit. A big fat nail would fix it or a metal bracket. If you use screws on the top, they are great but tend to snap from repeated or sudden loads. Again nails are better because there is more material and are made of softer metal that bends. usually this would not be worth mentioning but then again....bura... :) And if somone is not aware, Croatian coast can experience wind loads up to 200km/h.

[@lignumchannel]

We used one 8mm screw on top, 2 from underneath pointing slightly upwards and a metal bracket underneath. Central had two brackets, one left and one right. It was pretty hectic so I didn't film each detail but I'm sure they will be visible in part 2 somewhere.. yeah, bura is crazy, but some of the locals said that jugo here is the one to be afraid of..

[@l3of589]

[@lignumchannel]

I hope so! I wonder what will they say on the next reconstruction😄 maybe this video will still be up so they can check it out and comment how primitive we were..🤔

[@wummerG]

That is a seriously heavy roof. I can only imagine all the engineering involved upfront to ensure the old building would cope.

[@lignumchannel]

well the old roof was much heavier because all of the clay tiles were placed on mortar and there were few layers of them added over the centuries.. This fresh roof is a much smaller load but there were calculations done nevertheless..

Surreal level of accuracy. How much attention do you pay to lumber straightness from a scale of 1-10 ?

[@JelleRevyn]

Impressive work! Takes some fine carpenters to make it all fit as if it was lego. Wondering about the insulation, will there be any? No idea if the attic will be used a living space, they could also insulate the floor. Seems great for woodfiber boards on the outside and cellulose insulation on the inside, sadly if that is the choice the the nice beam structure will not be seen any more.

[@lignumchannel]

Thank you very much! Yes it will be used as a living space but I'm not sure what type of insulation will be used or if parts of the structure will be left visible. Other subcontractors have those parts of the project. Yes it would be shame to hide it all though..

amazing as always. Question; those beams that come down from the ridge beam, and then into those metal plates on the small wall- how were you sure those small 300 yr old walls will hold the force without crumbling? the mortar look like its gonna fall out the next time you sneeze near it.

[@MsSpermator]

Read the description they reinforced the walls of the whole building with concrete pillars, plus you see them every meter or less

[@kschleic9053]

Looks like the triangular "cap" on the old walls is actually a reinforced concrete beam that bears on new columns, not the old stone. Additionally, this kind of roof only applies downward forces on the exterior walls, with bearing columns under the ridge and ties between opposite rafters.

[@lignumchannel]

Thank you! :)The walls were reinforced with RC horizontal and vertical beams to which we connected the roof. But yeah you are right, I'm amazed how that mortar stood the test of time..

[@username34159265]

What's the insulation and ventilation plan for the roof? Rigid polystyrene on the roof deck? It would be a pity to cover all that beautiful lumber and jointery...

[@lignumchannel]

I'm not sure if it will be left visible or how it will be insulated from underneath, it was not part of our contract. I agree it would be a shame to hide it all.. On top of the beams comes osb, then vapor membrane, then structure to hold baked clay roof tiles.

Do they get much rain there? I was wondering with no overhangs on the rafters how they keep rain off the walls?

A good amount of rain, but when the wind blows over 200 km/h a few times every year, it is better to have no overhang. also stone doesn't care about the rain.

[@Lumeo592]

Just out of curiosity, as I have absolutely no knowledge in the field, but isn't it a bit overkill to add that many rafters and ties? From other videos I've seen, there were less thick rafters and less ties in general. I'm sure there's a reason, just wondering which

[@justjoe7313]

Wind is the reason. There has to be quite a heavy roofing on top.

[@CoronadoBruin]

Most likely a very, very heavy clay barrel tile roof, and aesthetics come into play. Whoops, just noticed JustJoe beat me to it.

[@lignumchannel]

As the guys said, wind with gusts of over 200kmh are common here and happen a few times a year, also clay roofing is pretty heavy. Also here is a standard to ad 2cm in each direction to load bearing wooden elements in case of a fire. 2cm creates a charcoal layer and prevents the load bearing center of beams from burning quickly so fireman are safe from collapsing roof when entering..

[@Lumeo592]

[@AnEvolvingApe]

@@ot0m0t0 OK

[@jimurrata6785]

They are hanging over the ridge beam. That beam is supported by posts, and masonry pockets at each end. The beam has to fail for the rafters to slip outwards.

[@CoronadoBruin]

Structural ridge negates the outward (horizontal) load at the house perimeter and, I'm sure, there's some reinforcement in the concrete cap

[@lignumchannel]

They would if there was no central beam, but even without it I think 50cm stone walls with RC horizontal and vertical columns would hold just fine.

[@mariokajin]

@@johnwilliams-sc1vf Don’t worry it was done by code. Actually no buildings with some sort of historical value can’t be rebuilt without the proper approvals ( earthquake, wind, static and dynamic load, historical appearance and historical construction methods). So the reinforced concrete is the “new” thing introduced to the building. The rafters and the other woodwork is actually lighter than before. But the point is that the buildings have to follow the pretty strict euro codes and then you have to demonstrate that your calculations are by the book with all the design and construction elements that will be used. Building such a roof is relatively a short endeavor in comparison to getting all of the approvals/paperwork.
