The tiny half-timbered house 3

In this third video about our small half-timbered house in Burlafingen, I show and explain it in a tour. The video is to be understood as a documentation of the house, which can justify its excess length.

Matthias, German immigrants brought the insulation method of the infill plank boards between the ceiling beams to America. At the early 19th Century Swabian community Old Economy Village in Ambridge, Pennsylvania, they used this infill in the root cellars. It was very effective in moderating the temperature for food storage. Thank you for sharing your work.

"The house is *only* 200 years old" - got a chuckle out of that one. 😄

I've seen 500-year-old versions of this which are in better condition than wooden structures built only 20 years ago! This also applied to the window frames of my parents' home... They rotted within a decade! In the old days, they dried wood for many years naturally, this made it far more resilient. Today, these A-holes either paint over green wood or bake it in an oven which causes it to crack...

Hi Matthias, another great video, thanks for that. What a lovely house and the one you're in is amazing, You are a great craftsman and a hard worker, engineer etc and you also have the will to do it which is admirable. I love'd how you let the kids use "dangerous" tools (chisels etc} and their work contributes to the project for real. This house is an absolute palace compared to the majority of houses built in Ireland at the same time A lot of the old cottages were built from clay or adobe("dobe") with no foundation and lime rendered on the outside yet they still survive.. These were/are really tiny houses, as a rule the fire was never allowed to go out as it was the only means of cooking and the front door was always open to clear the smoke and let light and the neighbours in. Anyway, thanks again, look forward to your next project. The fire hose you found for putting out incendiary bombs is an important piece of history, perhaps you could restore it as part of the house, after all if it had not have been there the house may have not survived. Best wishes,

Bin gerade vom SWR auf dich gestoßen. Bist ein toller Mensch! Mach weiter so und lasse deiner Kreativität freien Lauf. Schönen Sonntag.

[@edi9892]

Great job! It looks cozy and it honours the past.

A beautiful and sympathetic restoration. So nice to preserve as much as possible, but still make the necessary changes to make it livable. Whoever reetores it next will be happy that you left so much untouched. Thank you for the tour.

Having followed your work here I wonder Laura Kampf will do with her recent acquisition.

[@matthiasburger2315]

I think the house could be made a very nice place by someone like Laura.

I have absolutely loved watching these videos. So inspirational. I live in the UK, in a house built in around 1750, but it's had so much done to it over the years that there's very little visible of the oldest parts of the house. I'm inspired to renovate and reveal them in the same way you've done with this beautiful house.

Wonderful! What a labor of love to restore this house

Gracia amigo, por compartir tu trabajo, lo disfruto mucho, saludos desde Oaxaca México

[@jasonludwig2488]

Astounding work. You're a true craftsman. I gobbled up every video about the house.

[@blademan175]

Greetings from Florida! I love your videos and your very good English narrations of them! I grew up in a 200 year old flagstone house near Philadelphia and appreciate your attention to keeping the old ways of construction visible while modernizing and customizing with your amazing talents! Good luck and take care.

Great restoration Matthias, thanks for sharing.

[@NicoSmets]

You really love your house.

[@monroeprograms]

How do you prevent rot between the infill and timbers? It seems like moisture would get trapped in the walls. I also wonder if you have problems with condensation? Thank you for your videos, they are very interesting.

Greetings from Greenwich London ⚓️ ⛵️ Cheers ☕️ 👍 ✅

[@tolbaszy8067]

Great video! I've enjoyed your beautiful work for a while now, but have you moved from the house with the fantastic shop? I also like your clever details like the double handrails- useful for little people or the crawling adult. Thanks for making and sharing the videos!

[@matthiasburger2315]

The house with the workshop is the other one - I'm living there now

[@09conrado]

Are you selling the small one only now or is this a video you shot a few years ago?

[@allluckyseven]

That was fascinating.

[@tiitsaul9036]

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. Is the house just sitting empty now?

[@GM-dc8vr]

will miss this house!

[@adorepumpkin]
