I am working on finishing the upper level of my house and have been reading some DIY forums.

I came across this thread about a guy rebuilding an old house in Germany. http://www.diychatroom.com/f49/german-house-rebuild-23424/

It's really long because he has been working on it for about three years but I found it interesting to see how different the construction methods were than what I am used to seeing in the USA.

Also diychatroom.com is way better than doityourself.com if anyone else is looking for some DIY info.
