Japanese timber frame house extension: interior removable walls.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 сер 2021
- For our interior walls we used panels made from T&G pine. These get pressed firmly against a gasket of felt and held on by wood trim pieces, and are painted with milk paint. Very practical wall method allowing instant access to any wall void, for any reason without destroying or fixing the wall afterwards.

Lots of questions on the large wall cavity. For those not familiar with the Larsen truss system or the idea of "disentanglement" the idea is you have a void which gives ample room for your insulation and utilities to be installed and accessed independently, so you are not pushing wires or pipes into insulation, and can easily access all for repairs or changes later. If you take 6" for insulation, then 6" for pipes or wires you have 12", that is about the minimum you would want. If you go larger, you can add built in furniture.
No floor space is wasted since all this void is created OUTSIDE the frame of the house, if anything its actually increasing useful floor space since furniture is in the walls outside the frame proper.
Curious how the floor will be insulated. was a little suprised that a third layer of insulation wasn't put in running horizontally. In my head this house has is continuously slowly exhaling. The mineral wool will not deteriorate if it get wet- and the slow air passage would dry it out- unless you get some real cold. The bigger gap I can understand if you are going to go back in and add some built in furniture things thinking like a computer room with a removable floor and ceiling . I am now curious if it would be better to circulate the air in the cavity wall- like the do with double wall greenhouses or keep it static.
Mr. Chickadee, very interesting walls. Being able to retrofit installations or make repairs is a very interesting non-destructive concept. However, even though the insulation seems to cover the "outside opening" well, I will still worry these walls might become a harbor for squirrels and other rodents not to mention insects. Have you done something or are you going to do something to prevent their entry? I wonder...
Love the idea of removeable panels to access the inside of the walls. Fantastic.
I'm a little surprised at how much space you have left. Do you have plans for it?
Its still makes the house bigger, A large square meter wich can be a problem for building codes? idk how to say it in English
Thanks for the explaination great video as always
Me and my kids miss the chickadee call and drawing at the beginning of your videos. They come running to see what you are building next Every time the hear that bird sound off. They even talk about you when they hear a chickadee in the yard lol. We all love your channel and appreciate all the hard work you do. As always, looking forward to the next video.
Aww, I didn't notice because it was playing in my head when I was excited to check for new videos. But you're right 😕
My cat always lifts her head when she hears it
Painting over a wood floor without a drop cloth? You're a better man than I, Gunga Din.
The panels and trim or stops could have easily painted flat on saw horses to save time. Wonderful result!
It's a subfloor, you can see clear through the gaps to the ground in places.
I think that’s the subfloor.
I think that's the subfloor. The nice floor gets laid down later.
everything he does is typically flawless, I've come to expect nothing less. Give me some paint and a brush , I'd have it all over my face and every surface in the house.
As the owner of Old Fashioned Milk Paint Co/Sweet Pickins Milk Paint - we love seeing you use our product for your walls, you did an amazing job! We also love your color choice!
What color did he use? Thank you.
In 1938 my father started carpentry as a sawyer on a huge barn in Illinois. He told me that was a make-or-break job. He made it. Went on to be a contractor. I remember his hand saws, brace, and bits, saw vice to hold handsaws for sharpening, folding ruler in pant leg. So many memories. I'm 79 now, still have the saws, brace and bits, 2 dozen different types of folding rulers. I retired as a carpenter also. I can say that the feel of my tools in my hand became instant knowledge that "it was my saw" etc. The best compliment s my dad gave me "Gerry, you work like I used to", and "l know I told you four boys not to be a carpenter when you grew up, because it was hard work, but, I'm proud that you did" How many carpenters today can cut and frame a roof, or stair Jack's? (Roll those trusses). How about reading a framing square with all rafter lengths, ie commons, hips, Jack's. It's all there. I remember one of my first jobs as a carpenters helper for my Dad. My brother and I stood on top plates while Dad cut every rafter on sawhorses and passed them up to us. That's the day I decided, "now this is what carpentry is all about!" Modern tools are great, so don't get me wrong. Time is money. I started at $1.25 an hour, 2023.....a lot more.... Some of my thoughts that your videos remind me of.
That was very nice to hear, Gerry. May God bless you, sir.
My man is straining milk paint like it's well-made morning chai.
On a serious note, love the content you're making. Super insightful into this building process!
My boy pretends he’s Mr Chickadee while he plays with his carpentry table. We watch your videos every night before bed.
Mr. Chickadee, you don't post very often but it's always worth the wait when you do. Your craftsmanship is very well planned and brilliantly executed. And the garden is delightful.
Wishing you and your family best regards.
I sure wish this set of technologies, traditional and modern, were spread more widely. I get a sense of great robustness, non-invasive habitation (no foundations), wholesomeness, rationality. this Larsen truss system is very elegant, allowing the occupier to make modifications or carry out repairs, potentially without needing a professional, because pipes and wires are so accessible. that's without mentioning that, perforce, the Larsen truss system must add to the structure's rigidity. beautiful.
if I had the budget for land and building I sure would look at this set of technologies for my home.
No painters tape, no mess. His work is flawless and impeccable....amazing
the real question is why wouldn't you paint the panels before you installed them.
Once again you have me captivated. When will you be bringing out a book to share your knowledge? Things you’ve learned, what works what doesn’t. All that type of stuff? 🤔🤷♂️👍👍
The garden looks great!
Something like 25 years ago I used a modern product that was designed to look like milk paint. It was absurdly expensive and only available in these little 3-in tall cans, not too handy when you're rehabbing an old Victorian. Having now seen the real thing, I'm dumbfounded! That stuff looks like it lays down so nice and easily. Looks fantastic, it's good to hear that older solutions are becoming available again
Congratulations on hitting 300k. I’m still confused why you aren’t at a million subs yet. Everything you do is amazing
I remember when he hit 20k. This channel has grown so much and still has a lot of potential left
If he was on H>V, he would have a million viewers. But, that channel seems to be almost all home renovations and no gardening. They have no interest in real craftsmanship or a view of the garden.
I was hoping you would explain why you want such a large space between the interior wall and the exterior walls.
That was running through my mind as well. There's not quite enough space for secret passageways, although it would be more than adequate for Charles (😼) to chase down vermin easily. I'm guessing the answer is in his remark about easy access to wall interiors. There's ample elbow room for adding wiring, pipes, etc. or making repairs. And, of course, dead air space adds insulative value.
That's where the ghosts live.
for the meth and dead bodies
Read the video description
Me too, just posting to see the answers lol, I know he’s got a good reason
A concept I've been playing with in my head is a french cleat wall system. Basically the same as the panels you put in, except it is pulled tight to the wall be the cleat with one board at the top to fill the gap that's needed for the vertical movement. All you'd need to do to remove it is stick a putty knife or something in the bottom and lift the panel up and out.
It was nice to see a bit of the garden as well!
The fact that you can easily disassemble, modify, repair your work is probably the main reason why I try to do things by myself when I can.
Also when I'm convinced that painting wood is a waste and natural wood is the best, you come out with a design that make me change my idea... thank you... I suppose?
great color choice! Looks very friendly.
I really appreciate your respect for your environment and the care that you take in every task. Please accept my sincere thanks 🙏🏼
Love that big wall space. It gives the old stone cottage feeling with that wide window sill.
That room is really pleasing to the eye. Well done!
I'm only here to say, Mr. Chickadee is shredded, jacked, lit, beefed, AND cut. To summarise, he is yolked. Man big.
That is a very calm CLEAN room like ready for new beginnings without any hint of a past that needs to be painted over and mindfully forgotten.
Hammering, stapling, sawing with both hands, with dexterity. Respect!
That looks so beautiful. I love the contrast between the natural finish and to soft texture of that pastel blue.
I like this dude , no phat ass on the thumbnail, no trendy garbage just ole fashion ways
Beautiful walls. Beautiful house. Thank you for sharing your work.
All right, our quiet craftsman!
Such a nice astethetic.
I'm interested to see how you treat those deep window jambs.
A Lovely Fine Work Mr. Chickadee! The sound using hand tools is very pleasant , compared to the very loud sound of power tools. We live in a mega loud world! So loud that we don’t hear the important things like bird, insects, running waters and hand tools. Thanks Kindly for the lovely music of your tools! Love, Light, Peace and Joy of Spirit to You and your Family! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
Lovely comment 👌. Best wishes from Ireland 🇮🇪
Watching learning for a year now. All the best Sir!
The workmanship you do is just amazing I wish I could afford to have you build a home for me
Another awesome piece of work! Thanks for reviving tried and true (but sometimes forgotten) ways to do things with zen.
Mr chickadee looks like the bushcraft version of bill hader.
Also I love these videos
I'm left handed and I can't even saw with my left hand. Props to Mr. Chickadee.
It’s as if a soul is being made for this home how beautiful a home you are truly blessed with may our maker look down and say well done well done my son.
My mother is Japanese. I love your fascination with Japanese carpentry! They really do have some incredible ingenuity. Thank you for sharing!
Absolute mastery of one's craft. Love it.
The pale blue color is lovely.
Thank you very much for the additional information and explanations in the subtitles!
This type of construction is so much smarter than modern methods for a myriad of reasons.
You're an inspiration. I'm still saving money to buy a rural property for myself, but I definitely want to be able to build a home like this in the (hopefully near-ish) future. Thanks for the video!
I'm doing the same. Good luck to you!
Absolutely beautiful!
Very good work. All by hand takes a special resolve.
And as a painter, you've done an admirable job.
Really enjoy watching your progress.
I myself would have gone for a natural wood oil or varnish personally, but the painted wood gives a beach home kind of vibe, really cool.
Love the colours inside this!.. ❤❤❤
Impeccable Craftmanship as always. Always a pleasure to watch.
Gorgeous work - again! It’s so nice to watch you work. Thanks for the info in the CCs. Took a while to be able to see them. Apparently UA-cam reset the preferences to “off”, I had to remember how to reset them. All’s well! BTW, love the garden.
Edit: I really, really, really want a brace and it’s all your fault 😂
the garden is looking lovely!
Thank you Mr Chicadee for captions you never disappoint
wow, the extension is coming along great, and the garden looks amazing as well!
Hell yeah. Finally another video.
Always a calming experience to watch one of your videos..
Not trolling, question: Why not paint the panels and oil the stripping before installing? Seems like it would be easier... Knowing you, there's a reason, which is why I'm asking.
Also not trolling here, but I agree I would have painted the panels on sawhorses. Faster and easier and avoids getting paint on the wall timbers.
it takes more time but you get a better finish to coat materials after they are fully installed. the seams on the tongue and grove wont move again and the screw holes and cut marks on the trim dont need to me touched up again...where it can look blotchy.
That’s a bloody WORK OF ART
Always learning from you,thank you.
good to see the garden doing well
Love it! Great workmanship!!
Beautiful. Your work inspires me.
Looking good! I've never heard of milk paint. Very interesting. 👍🙂
It's a great look on simple wood furniture too!
it is based on lime which activates the casein in the milk to form a bond that is waterproof after it has dried. For making your own paint use this:
0,3 liter of low fat milk or 12g casein powder (mix the casein powder with a little water and let it sit for one night)
12g of colored Pigments of your choice
120g of chalk (powdered)
2 Tee spoons of slaked lime (which has been stored at least for three years)
First mix the lime with the milk/casein powder. A chemical reaction takes place that generates a little heat and causing a milky smell. After they have been mixed well, add other ingredients. Casein paint is able to bind far more more pigments then simple lime paint (slaked lime and water) thus you can get much more saturated colors with casein paint. Do not apply on moist walls that will stay wet for a long time ince the casein might start to mold before it fully cures. Use the fresh mixed paint in one or two days (store in the fridge). After two days the paint is not useable anymore.
Milk paint is a very old technique. It was done by adding colouring to milk and using it to paint walls, or whatever. You can buy a milk paint powder to mix with water. It comes in a number of colours. Oh, it's an interior paint I believe. I loved watching it done here.
Man! Just beautiful!
Amazing work, man! This new part of the house is looking beautiful! 😃
I hope everything is fine there!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thank You so mich for your Videos!
Very nice. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent work I watch all the videos I learn a lot thank you very much
Amazing, inspirational.
Thanks for another video.
My goodness, all physical work. It takes a real effort for me to use one of those hand staplers!
Fantastic job Josh, really looking great inside and out. Should be able to keep cool and heat easily when needed. Keep up the good work and videos, really appreciate watching your creations. Fred. 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👋👋
Yet again never ceases to amaze good job
oh man, it's turning out gorgeous. I can imagine how good it smells in there with all that fresh wood. Love the milk paint also, that's why barns are red, they add iodine into it to give that red coloring.
Iron oxide, no?
Iodine is purple.
Barn paint is red because of iron oxide. Because it has to be non-toxic for animals should they nibble on it, it's usually pretty simple stuff. They can't use toxic colorants like copper or lead.
Rien a redire ....
C'est un splendide travail dans le respect des matériaux et du travail l'artisanal
BRAVOS
Looks nice should be very warm. Thanks 😊🙏
Good job. Looking really good.
Seems like this could work with 6 inches just as well…but not so great for a window seat for the kiddos I suppose. 😊 What a great technique. I am inspired by these videos.
well you need a minimum of your insulation, plus several inches for wires and pipes. Normally I feel 12" is about the minimum with good insulation. But it could be less.
That’s got to the highest value house in world right now with the price of lumber being so high. Beautiful craftsmanship,
BEAUTIFUL WORK MR CHICKADEE😎👍🤗
Exquisite craftsmanship as always attention to detail and technique used is so inspiring... that’s what every tradesmen should strive for quality of one’s work to improve and learn each everyday....customers should understand and know that quality tradesman are worth every cent and gives you peace of mind....
Well done!
Marvelous. Greetings from Brazil!!
You have a beautiful garden!
The best of the best!
I love milk paint. Thank you
it is incredible that your right and left hands can work equally strong. :) very nice
Amazing
I never get notifications when you have a new video up . Good to see you.
Really love all your videos, very good source of inspiration! I don’t know how milk paint react with pine knots, but I would recommend to apply a layer of shellac on them before for sealing them, otherwise, you could experience color change where knots are located. Hope you great success in your different projects!
Amaizing!!!! From Uruguay!
Hello to Uruguay from Kansas, U.S.
Beautiful work friend. I love those hand drills. I have and use a couple from my Grandad. Love milk paint too. Anyhow awesome...the way you live. Very inspiring.
Thanks for sharing the non-voc paint 👍🏻
I'm wondering why you chose to paint the removable T&G panels in place, whrn they are by design removable? Couldn't you throw them on the saw horse and paint much quicker? Same for the varnish applied to the trim.
🤷♂️
Thanks for sharing
I love the color
Very nice!
Great work.
Enjoyed the show
