Log cabin / house in America

>>213905448 (OP)
Laft cabins last 500 years at least.

over 150 year old log cabin in Finland

340 year old log house in the USA. Oldest one in the country, built by Finnish immigrants in the colony of New Sweden

>>213905491
keep them out of constant water stress and sometimes replace some logs and its basically eternal
governments should tolerate them more even thought they arent the most energy efficient

nordic craftmanship

>logs
Sorry man, I just really like planks and sheet metal. Flat is the way to go.

>>213905448 (OP)
Always laugh american placing fireplace outside of the building, dude u nigger dumb

>>213908369
Not all of us are gifted in thermodynamics

>>213905550
>built by Finnish immigrants in the colony of New Sweden
Finnish servants*

>>213908369
IIRC they did this because the houses were so small that they couldn't afford to cram the fireplace inside. Obviously it's less energy efficient, but when you're heating such a small place it doesn't really matter. Winters in America aren't that cold anyways.

This cabin in my area built in 1781 became locally famous after a Ford ran into it and didn't budge at all.

>ywn live in a comfy Swedish cabin with your big titted Swede wife and spend the winter pumping babies into her fertile womb to stay warm
PLEASE LET ME IN I DON'T WANT TO BE AMERICAN

>>213908957
The American bumper car FEARS the Swedish timber

>>213908957
HOLY BASED

>>213906203
you only say it its nordic because swedes also have done this but outside of Finland and Sweden...they had different style

>>213911322
surely norway have them as well

>>213911940
pretty sure norwegians used to put the logs straight, like the vikings did

>>213912085
arent those straight?

>>213912322
as in like this

>>213912322
you notice it in these old churches
look at the first floor, the logs are vertically aligned

>>213912609
Looks like a doctor's waiting room was placed in a sauna

>>213908957
Sissy ford, a volvo would have plowed straight through it

>>213908957
>built in 1781
Someone really liked their little cabin to maintain it that long

>>213912655
Beware of the Frenchman Louis Cachet around this building.

why waste a good cabin? it's jämtland so it's not like there ever were industry or jobs there that could move away

log cabin house in Switzerland

>>213913893
its from around 1765

>>213913963
when i see log cabins from Scandinavia i always laugh because they are so crude and primitive.

I built a really comfy log cabin in valheim last time i played

>>213905448 (OP)
A chick I knew lived in a very nice big one, with all the suburban amenities. She was especially literary, if not appreciative of dark rural skies as I am.

>>213905498
why are you guys so bad at woodworking? don't you have a lot of trees?

>>213914306
Nordic people don't care about being flashy.
Four solid walls, good roof and a fireplace is all you need.

>>213914019
>>213913963
>>213913930
>>213913893
why are they so big

>>213914019
We’ve never been big on fancy or flashy. We still buy run down soldier shacks as summer cabins, cook seawater and shit in a hole in the ground and call it a great summer getaway, it’s one of our few redeeming qualities. We were all dirt poor peasants 3-4 generations back

>>213914144
* the site of it is pretty spectacular, rare in its way.

>>213914379
>>213914477
you're just primitive and underdeveloped in your woodworking skills. what a waste of good timer.

>>213914443
the living section of the houses is just the front third from the windows to where the chimney is, behind that is the stable for the cows, horses and pigs,the hay barn and the grain threshing floor. there is 3 generations living under one roof, and they used to have huge families and then some farmhands too. reason to build that way was thermal efficiency, needs less wood to heat.

>>213914865
sometimes you have more than one family under one roof

>>213914865
>>213914967
Swiss emigrants also spread part of the architecture to the new world, pic related is in Tennessee. You can tell it is Swiss made because it looks proper.

>>213914865
A ford would definitely smash right through that, that’s a timber house, not a log cabin

>>213915255
This was built buy some peasants with axes 350 years ago just because they could and it looks nice. You have no excuse why you and your kind are living in shacks despite all the good timber you have available.

>>213915337
pic related is from 1394 and it looks more refined than your cabins ever did.

>>213915337
>>213915443
It's just pretty wood, calm down.

>>213915337
swedes didn't have neighbors so there was no need to make fancy houses

>>213915600
This is about woodworking Aditi, none of your business.
>>213915676
it's not impress the neighbours, it's just if you build it anyway, you mights as well do it proper.

>>213915840
well i dunno
maybe swizerland was richer or our rich didn't build wooden houses
here's oppa dragon style from norway

>>213916410
>implying it was about money
we just love working with wood

>>213916756
i mean, if you are a poor farmhand but you still are alive (epic emil reference), if you are poor you might not take as much time making fancy houses or learning woodworking and such. swizerland is central european, we're in the poor frigid ass end of the world

>>213916756
Very nice, but check this out

>>213908957
They really don't make 'em like they used to

>>213916897
na, it's a skill issue

>>213916951
Fancy wood dome for a team of losers, where’s your medals?

>>213916912
>>213916951
There are wooden supports where there should be seats. I guess you don't need them.

>>213917095
Well maybe your ancestors, you know, just weren't any good with the axe?

>>213916951
woodwork this, franz-pierre-giuseppe

>>213908759
>Winters in America aren't that cold anyways
You are out of your fucking mind if you don't think it gets freezing as shit in the Northeast/Great Plains/Midwest

>>213908957
what’s the wood treated with?

Don’t believe the swissjude lies. All those mansions were built with judengeld. Not white man sweat.

>>213917347
Nordic sweat

>>213917347
lead paint for extra brain damage.

>being stuck in the same room with a w*man the entire winter
I would unironically either commit murder or suicide or both, Im not joking. Probably kill her and then if hiding the crime is not possible then prepare to kill as many cops as I possibly can before they kill me.

I dont know why but these 3 pics remind me of romanian cabins I saw even though they are different style.

>>213919576
I have fapped to both genders but Im not spending an entire winter in the same room with another person, especially not a w*man. Being stuck with my cunt mother from birth was enough for this lifetime, and if I retain my memories then for the next as well.

because romania had a sizeable minority from swabia, black forest, alsace and similar, all border switzerland and have a allemanic culture. saw an old wooden drawer from romania once, looked just like from around here, same form, same paint.

>>213905448 (OP)
nice

>>213919758
I googled the place where I stayed and its actually totally different. I just didnt remember properly.

Nordic rustic houses are beautiful and picturesque; they are epic. The German houses are grotesque; they look like wooden masses that clash with the natural surroundings. There is a certain architectural brutalism.

asl, throughout Latin America (in the upper class tourist places) there are too many vulgar imitations of “traditional German houses”; they even build pharmacies, businesses and restaurants with “traditional German” facades. In other words, they build vulgarities of other European vulgarities.

this one is modern, should last 400+ years with a bit of care

>>213917347
iron oxide paint, by-product of copper mining

>>213919101
Swiss architecture and culture is more distinct and stylish than I thought. Such beautiful buildings.

>>213920808
we actually have several distinct architectural styles, depends on geography and culture, lowlands looks more like this.

>>213920808
Grisons for example have wooden Walser chalets, whilst Rumansh speaking people built massive stone houses.

>>213921107
Ticino is small rock houses, real hobbit villages.

>>213921107
old Engadina houses are ultra comfy because the inside is clad with wood, by tradition arven wood which has a balsamic smell.

>>213916920
More Lithuanian homes?

>>213921191
Very mythical setting. I wonder why Swiss culture and aesthetics aren’t more represented. I like the typical Bern accent a lot too.

>>213921139
any vlog from this place?

>>213920808
Bernese mountains and parts of inner Switzerland have a variety of log houses, styles vary by valley.

>>213920808
north eastern Switzerland again has different style. usually you can tell where you are in switzerland +-10km just by looking at the farm houses and the cows

no one cares about your gingerbread judengeld houses

>>213905448 (OP)
log in the 'log

>>213921334
the nice thing is, many of those houses are still used the same way as ever
