You used a crane, easier of course.
But in the old days they used to build each end wall lying flat on the ground. Then they pulled it up to the vertical (as you probably know).
Here in Holland some people still call their house their "op trek". Translated it means "pull up". Congratulations on your beautiful optrek!
One of the very nice things I see on your house is the use of cedar siding.
Of course there are many wood framed old houses (some from about the 1300s and many from the 1400s and 1500s and later) here and restoration and preservation is important but we don't have that beautiful wood siding like you do. Wattle and Daub (clay over sablings) due the scarcity of wood in Europe was used.
A nice place to see old houses, some like yours, is an open air museum called Bokrijk in Belgium. The inside of your house looks just like those. Again congratulations on saving that nice house.
