Wonderful information, and very well presented - Thank you! We bought a 1769 colonial and find this fascinating. They really got it right back then, and I hope more architects jump back on the classics - no more ugly houses please!

This is truly unique in all of youtube. Thank you. I'm planning to build a New England colonial and this answered so many of my questions.

Please, more videos! You're such an amazing speaker and your voice is ridiculously calming! Could you do a video on the pocket neighborhood architecture in the near future?

Thank you Mr Loth. Very informative.

Some of the first american exports were shingles and clapboards. New England built so many homes in the early years that a whole industry was created around the need for manufactured building materials. It's not surprising that the buildings in english port towns look similar to colonial american buildings.

I TRUST MY PARENTS GUIDANCE IS VERY IMPORTANT

What he refers to as “exposed framing” in the video is called “wattle and daub” in England

[@felixguerrero6062]

In the US we call wattle and daub infill wattle and daub as well, but he is referring to the structural elements, I think.

Wonderful, I learned a lot. Because I live on the West Coast, I’m not very familiar with true Colonial architecture, although we do have some Colonial Revival houses, like in the Sea Ranch development on the Northern California coast, near where I live. Except for a few very rare vernacular adobe buildings, the oldest homes in the West are Victorian, like mine. Adobe proved to be problematic here in earthquake country, as did all brick and stone masonry. Since the Napa earthquake of a few years ago, many have removed their brick chimneys, as this quake revealed that none of the earthquake-retrofit methods, to anchor the masonry into the wood structure, survived even this moderate quake. Someday, I want to remove mine, there was never a fireplace, only a wood/coal burning cookstove, removed long before I was born.

Terrific class

*JUST how much cheaper the "gambrel" roof was comparing to making a normal second floor and a normal roof?* By the look of it, the latter would have been more beneficial/practical, even though, stylistically, more boring.

So interesting that siding goes back to the earliest days of settlements, I always kinda thought it was a more modern thing, I wonder its use in Europe. Edit: I did not watch the whole video when commenting.
