Fectio tower

[Robert]

He guys, if you want to build your own tower, remember this replica is hotly debated as not being the correct type for the Limes of the Netherlands. You can also achieve great results with the methode described as being more typical for the Netherlands, a sturdy wooden frame on a stone foundation with the holes filled in by dough and wattle, then slapped with a good dose of plaster. (the English term escapes me :oops: ) This is how the Romans build a lot of structures, including castella, in Holland in the first and first half of the second century. Cinderblocks will get you the desired effect, as long as you get the limeplaster on the in- and outside right :lol: Mind you, the roof and balcony will still cause woodworking headaches, but it still is a lot simpler then the Germanic "logcabin" structure attempted with good result here.

PS The site in Aalen Jona posted shows the construction I wanted to descibe! Many happy hours building, it's worth it!
