Especially if one day I decide to enlarge and add a port on the edge of a river, then the name would surely be something like "La bastide sur l'eau" or "Le village sur <name of the river>" ... 😉 lmagna, popeye the sailor, Old Collingwood and 2 others 5 Quote Work: www.flickr.com/photos/133075291@N04/albums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekis Posted November 14, 2020 Author Share #462 Posted November 14, 2020 Before finishing the current house (there is still the roof to be done), I wanted to attack the next one, which is attached. The stones used for the facades on this one are 3x3x6mm... No half-timbering this time, just stone. And I didn't choose simplicity for the openings !

Kurt Johnson Posted November 14, 2020 Share #464 Posted November 14, 2020 Hey, Why don’t we all meet at the Inn to get pissed before Ekis takes us on tour of the village? He must include those hanging upside down in the rafters or we will be done with him. There are other villages out there, or so I think. They might not be anywheres near so splendid, but he can’t take us for granted, People have told me that this Ekis is a very very fine fellow. He is definitely an architect of extraordinary talents. However, if he excludes our rafter hangers this should not be tolerated no matter how splendid this village maybe. This is my opinion alone and should not reflect MSW in any way. Kurt Actually in an effort to be fair, I am of those who think Ekis is an exceedingly fine fellow with extraordinary talents. Therefore, I really doubt there will be any problems. So you should probably disregard the entire response. Lets meet at the Inn anyway. The rabbit stew has to be the experienced ( something to do with local spices) I have been informed from reliable sources.

That is why he probably keeps it secure and remote in his work room and away from us! He doesn't want a bunch of soused rafter hanging Ding Bats wandering around his village wining and wenching like a bunch of pirates. (But to me it has become real enough over the last few months to see myself doing just that!) I do have a question though Ekis. When you have two buildings joined like these with no space, would it be common for both to have their own wall on the joined side or would it be more common for the later structure to be built using the common wall of the first? With proper compensation of course if there were two owners of the joined buildings.

druxey Posted November 15, 2020 Share #466 Posted November 15, 2020 A friend of mine years ago owned a small 16th century cottage in Suffolk (England), built between two even older houses. The place was perhaps 12' 0" wide (4 m) with one room up, one room down. The adjacent buildings' walls were common to his 'new' house. A quaint feature was the upstairs room, nominally the bedroom. The ceiling was perhaps 5' 6" high at the walls. However, over the centuries the ceiling had sagged so that it was more than a foot lower in the center of the room. It gave the impression of a large canvas sail or hammock. Bathroom? Septic system out back and an outhouse. I helped him dig out for the tank. The ground was heavy clay. I was 19 at the time, thank goodness!

Canute Posted November 15, 2020 Share #467 Posted November 15, 2020 Maybe they'll serve us a venison stew? Had a great one in a tiny gasthaus on the German/Luxembourg border. The facility was rather modern, but the food was traditional. My Dad had pictures of Bitburg when he was there in 1945. All the stuff I saw in town 28 years later was about my age or newer at that time.
