It's important homes and buildings like yours, so rare and old, are kept safe. I know those types of renovations are a big challenge, but it's worth itThank you, but I'm sorry to say this is the house's best profile, it looks way more shabby on it's other sides!
Apart from the fact that we don't live on the same continent, I've only ever seen houses like this in four or five villages around here. Those were built with material found locally (scale and pelite) when there was only animal traction. Unfortunately, to say it nicely, they do not stand well the taste of time. The material is porous to the rain. Also, the building principles were very different from nowadays. Those houses have no foundation, the walls are not straight, but plays with the ground's slope, and everything is held together by the framework : massive larch beams and a heavy tile roof. These houses needed constant care , especially on the roof, as any small leak led to great harm, which is not something we are ready to do nowadays.
We're in the process of having the two other older houses on the property secured, their roof must be put down and redone and it's a much more heavy, risky and expensive project than we ever imagined.
Sorry this was a long off topic rambling. I'll try to find some good tax to make up for it!
