The walls are built in the lumber stack method (beam – sticker – beam). Nothing is nailed together! The beams are laid freely across each other. Nothing is sawed! The sawmill supplies four- and fi ve-meter beams, whatever is excess can simply stick out at the corners. Stickers are made from three layers of laths – in place of the middle layer, we place at the corner a transverse beam. And look – it’s standing all by itself! Floor, ceiling, roof framework are formed from beams in a coffering system of transverse beams with their side-runners tied in place with twisted bailing wire. The roof covering is of plywood “dry-mounted” with laths and bailing wire. The building stands on stakes of tree-trunks positioned on oak slabs. Brace the building with steel wire and anchor it with eight pipes hammered into the ground. And we have our woodshed. That’s all!!!
