Good afternoon, dear guests and subscribers of my channel!
Recently, I visited the museum of wooden architecture - "Vitoslavlitsy", which is located not far from Veliky Novgorod. This museum is located in the open air and the oldest wooden buildings of the 16th-19th centuries have been moved to it from different parts of Russia.
Surprisingly, over 300-400 years, the buildings have undergone only partial destruction. Only a small restoration of some elements was carried out, single logs, elements of the roof were replaced, but in the rest - the structures are presented from the native building material - wood, which stood up to our days.
Not every stone house can boast of such a service life, and in fact 4 centuries ago no chemical agents were used for wood processing. How and with what did the ancestors work on the tree? After all, the wood is not even eaten by bugs.
Considering these buildings, a question formed in my head: is it possible now to build the way it was built before, for centuries?
And with this question I turned to the builder who was making a house from a log for my father. A person has been doing this since childhood and knows all the details inside and out.
It turns out that today you can also build reliably and for a long time. The wood used is pine. Only a pine tree that has dried up in the northern latitudes.
A similar dead wood is called kelo. Due to the harsh climate, such trees grow very slowly and increase in diameter by only 1-2 mm in one year, which contributes to an increase in the density of the wood. Dead wood in this form can stand untouched for up to 100 years until it is removed.
The result is a pine trunk that has no branches or bark - it does not rot for several hundred years and does not require chemical treatment at all. Such a forest is not susceptible to either drying out or cracking.
The dry pine is named as "stone pine". It is so hard that construction is progressing very slowly due to the difficulty of handling such wood.
Accordingly, the cost of a finished log house is much more expensive and the price of a small 6x6 house will be about 9 million rubles.
Dead wood dry strife. Now many unscrupulous sellers give out the first cut dry trunks for a real Karelian cracker, they can easily be distinguished by the pitted channels of woodworms and rottenness. And they sell this disgrace at the prices of ordinary fresh wood. The Karelian deadwood cannot cost like an ordinary forest. It is more than 3 times more expensive.
I hope the article was interesting to you. Thanks for attention!
