"So one of those" means someone you know is also building with the Eco System?
The joint is as an expansion joint normally like this – only that normally (i.e. when laying bricks and facing bricks on site) you actually don’t have such a joint, but rather create the corner bond by alternatingly tying in the adjacent walls.
Were the gable-side walls initially completely missing, or did you only mean the gable triangles?
Without the gable-side walls, the supports for the purlins are also missing, which would almost require a truss roof...
I could not imagine any "purpose" for later building up the gable walls.
Greetings from Munich,
I actually came across the forum while looking for good software for construction drawings.
The thread I landed on, however, was absolutely disappointing!
The questioner was not given a single reasonable answer to his question, so I was actually about to give up on the forum already.
But then I stumbled upon this thread, even though it wasn’t really my topic.
Here again, I was so impressed by the constructive participation of everyone involved that I actually read all 173 posts.
By accident, I also learned something completely new for me there (unit "stone").
I certainly wouldn’t have thought of that in my planning, although during my training I earned money on the side for several years as a construction helper for bricklayers.
I have now registered here in the forum especially to express my compliments, especially to 11ant!
About 10 years ago, I was very active in a forum about e-cigarettes with several thousand posts and therefore I know how much time that takes.
So utmost respect to all who help here and sacrifice their time!
I have been unsuccessfully looking for someone like 11ant for over a year to plan the upcoming renovation of my own house in Munich (see avatar)...
I would immediately try to hire 11ant if he weren’t so far away.
Maybe more on my renovation project later in a separate thread.
I hope my post is not completely out of place here, but I am a newbie and quickly didn’t find a better place.
