Homemade Wooden Skyscraper

Egads. I can’t imagine it’s a particularly safe building. It don’t look so very stable.

Kind of reminds me of Sarah Winchester:

This has to be one of the most amazing houses in the world.

If you are ever near it take the tour. It’s fantastic.

There are many objects in Russia don`t look stable.And you can`t imagine how they were made,what for and how they would work.
But they exist and stable,and work.National paradox….

I think the building inspector may need to be bribed for this one to pass code.

Yikes. For someone who starts to quiver on the third rung of a ladder this ain’t my cup of tea.

First: I want that hat!

Second: I really can’t believe that this building is structurally sound. Even the reporter commented that she was terrified to be there.

Third: It would make a bonfire you should be able to see from London! Wow!

Thanks for this article Stewart. We have a strange oddity not too far from here in Georgetown, NY. It’s called “The Spirit House” and was built with no corners. Story goes that the builder was instructed by the spirits on how to build this house! The roof is pitched to the middle where the one and only drain is. And the locals say that now and then there are strange lights eminating from within! Here’s a link. http://www.jubileeinitiative.org/SacredSpiritHouse.html

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

i cant think of any codes it meets here in fla. ! maybe its really a birdhouse and hes trying to out do john ! lol

Looks like something out of a Harry Potter movie. Scary to think of being in that “house.”

I take it there are not many building inspectors in Russia. Very interesting.

If any of you ever have an opportunity to see the Winchester house in CA. that Gary is talking about, be sure and go.

I would like to see a photo of the Outhouse.

-- Ron in Minnesota (Summer) and in Arkansas (Winter)

Um, that is the outhouse. Ya see in Russia the outhouses only have to cover a large hole and have enough wood to adequately cover your babushka!

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

More like the house of horrors or the house ‘russian’ to go nowhere.
