Well, I didn’t build it, but I have to replace it. After removing an old deck, I discovered the basement walls were made of old timber. The old part of the house was built late 1800,s in an old coal mine area. Sawdust was used as insulation. Original siding is 1x6, then someone put tar paper that looks like brick then the cedar siding. The basement is all hand hewn logs/timber. Anyone else seen sawdust insulation?
I’ve seen sawdust insulation on old timers, but never stick built foundation below grade.

Ha ha, maybe underground built foundation is a lost art. Ole timers told me there was a saw mill up the road.
How did that not rot apart 50 years ago. Damn.

IDK, sawdust was dry and fresh but exterior wood was all rot. They knew how to make SD in those days.

Ashes, that’s interesting. A lot safer in regards to fire safety than sawdust.

Better to mill em’ than for them to to be homes for insects and rot.
Not milled, but cut some cedar posts and used a pair of old junk 40 hoods to build some firewood storage this weekend.

OLD JUNK! I’ll take the hood on the right.
It's deceiving. I was hesitant, but then my lovely bride pointed out that the whole front is covered in filler with some kind of mesh in it. It's flaking off and looks to be 1/8" thick in places. The red one is an old split hood that someone actually welded together...
