This is a lesson on how not to scratch build a
house. The parts are fine but the final product does not
work. Here are the blueprints.
|
 |
Floor Plan - Basement
-
I used 1/4 in plywood floor to be placed within a wooden
frame. The rigidity was not good for such a large
floorplan. The walls are made
of scale 2 x 6s.

Basement Frame
-
The framing idea is okay and actually works well. It is
fairly sturdy and accurate.
|
 |
Basic Frame - entire house
-
The wooden frame was made from oak. All levels were supposed
to slide in like drawers. The weight of the house would have
been astronomical.

 |
Basic Frame - Basement
-
I used 1/8 in wood as drywall on the scale 2 x 6s. Great
rigidity but the weight was increasing.
|
 |
Basic Wall - Basement
-
The walls has tiny dowels for placement and later removal for
wallcoverings etc.

Newer Frame
-
I tried a different concept. Poster board or illustration
board on an aluminum / wood frame. Very rigid and lighter than
wood but still probably too heavy. I got busy with other things
and never came back to this concept. See my current house
project for my newest framing concept.
