The shed looks about as nice as the one in the background - we'll see how things hold up. The one in the foreground looks really nice.
Someone mentioned firewood - there's no chance, as there is no footings - the white pine will rot within about 6 months, and the house will fall down under its own weight.
What I thought was impressive it that the guy could climb up on the roof without it visibly bending or deforming.
This could be an entirely revolutionary architectural technique?!?!?!

Very creative! Soon everything will be covered by... what... particle board, so who will know? Now the "freedom from tyranny" folks (quoted therein) can see why we have <i>building codes</i>. Somebody else's kids might go in there!
