Thatching with water reed is an incredibly rewarding experience. It is also very tricky and labour intensive. But it makes you appreciate how our ancestors built their houses and the skills they developed doing so, often using minimal tools if not no tools at all. It will be interesting to see how the thatch will hold up in strong wind and heavy rain. The foundation of the log house is strong, with mortise and tenon joints and the post and beam structure being buried in the ground with the ends of the logs burnt to protect them from moisture and rot. We can’t wait to spend more time adding to this saxon grubenhaus! Thanks for watching and be sure to subscribe to get notified of the next episode 🙂
