    Nee dsome advice on movement

    Hello All,

    Been a while since I posted, and I hope you are all well and safe.

    I have a question with regards to movement of my logs in my home.

    For some background, the home I am in was built 23 years ago, and I have only been in here a couple of years. The original doors and windows are Aluminium, and I am replacing with new timber. The question I have is, how much movement would I expect now, after 20 years. I can't use the same technique to attach the new windows and doors, as the method won't suit timber (was Alu) and so am looking for ideas.

    Is it a bad idea to simple attach the new doors and windows to the logs, now that they are so old?

    Thanks all,

    John

    I would build a frame and install it in the logs first, and then put the doors and windows in the frame.

    probably depends on what you mean by log movement - is it a kit home or does it have raw logs?

    LHBA build is a process. Accept it'll take some time, will be more expensive than you thought and enjoy the journey.

    Thanks Guys.

    Not sure what you mean by raw logs. As mentioned, it was built a while ago. All logs are treated inside and out etc.

    Definitely not some kit they bought. It was custom built.

    I am not sure how to upload an image or I could show you.
