    I could use a chip shop, today...power's all messed up, after the Woke Power Corporation, LLC, installed Smart Meters.

    I have an inverter, and an old Toyota (much, much better than a new Chevrolet) and I'm powering the refrigerator that way. And this computer.

    But making the microwave work is more work. I'd rather just get carry-out.

    How come the guy behind the counter isn't wearing a face diaper with a sign that says you have to?

    Looks like a nice little joint though.

    Oh no, no chance of that.

    Its 16th century, and by the 16th century the art of timber buiulding construction wa well mastered.

    The basis of the building is the coner posts, which usually sit on big flat Padstones, usually granite. Then a frame is built foir the walls, and is triangulated by diagonal corner pieces. the gaps are then filled with stones and then plastered over. the structure is rock solid. The next deck over hangs and thus is cantilevered on the top plates. This is then made rigid by putting rebates in the top corners of the floor joists and insetting the floorboards (Tongued and grooved floor boarding wasnt invented until the late 19th century.)

    These buildings once settled dont go anywhere. Another technique used is the wall plates that hold the next floor or the roof joists are tied together using green planed English Oak, morticed and tenoned together. As the timber seasons, it shrinks and pulls the structure and joints tightly together. It was also in the latter part of the 16th century that use of purlins to stop the roof timbers from racking, ie falling sideways like this / / / was devised.

    The American method of timber Box frame construction derives exactly from this method of building, and both go back to the lessons learned building War Galleys in the 13th century.

    Unfortunately, english timber building construction is another of my favorite subjects....
