Here are some photos of an Isokern fireplace/chimney systems, mortise and tenon joinery, a reclaimed antique terra cotta roof installation, an exposed oak beam ceiling and an authentic stone wall being built. Great ideas!
Masterfully installed hand-hewn white oak exposed beams utilizing old world-style mortise and tenon joinery is just one more reason to read on. You'll have a hard time finding craftsmanship of this caliber in the homebuilding industry today. Seeing is believing!
If you have an interest in past and present groin vault ceilings in architecture then have a read. The English cottage-style home I'm following also has an example of a groin vault ceiling in the vestibule.
