I have an old barn that I am in the process of fixing up. It is divided into two parts. One is a log section with a proper foundation in the form of some kind of concrete blocks. And then there's this section that I plan to fix up now, where the sill rests on large stones, and between the stones, it is open to the outside.
What should I fill the gap with? Find stones that I place there and then mortar together?
Or would something like concrete blocks work?
Murad natural stone will certainly be the most beautiful, but if appearance is not a parameter, then casting would probably be the easiest? Building with lecablock also works of course, but if there is a risk of water from the outside, you need to plaster and then it might be preferable to cast.
If you have a wooden joist floor, it might be better to leave it open underneath instead of trapping air that could cause moisture problems.
If you don't have a joist floor and the ground is the floor so to speak, I'm more on board with your thinking. However, I have no opinion on the appropriate method.
Exactly, there is no floor in there now, and I was thinking of building a floor. But first, fix the foundation..
If I am going to cast, what is the most efficient way to go about it?
