WOODEN HOUSE FOUNDATION

In CONTRES (Loir et Cher) a new tiny wooden house is growing in my garden.

The foundation is very simple: 6 plots made of concrete poured in small drums of beer.

The 3 structural timber frames are erected in few minutes

The cross bracing is implemented thanks to small timber parts
