Just put in planning for a new ag dwelling. Originally thinking of concrete block with stone on the outside. I've never wanted a timber frame before, because I was worried about longevity, but I'm wondering if I'm mad for not considering it.
If we had a timber frame with stone exterior, then I could put the frame up myself, without rushing the stonework, I wouldn't have to pay for a block layer, or a plasterer to stick the walls, as I could plasterboard the studs.
Does anyone have any experience of building or living in a timber frame? Speaking from a couple of friends, they're very warm but the sound travels.
Thanks in advance, just thinking out loud.
