  • rather risky with everyone inside, is'n it?

  • Ziggy's so hot. ;p and his house is one of the nicest there.

  • tht was rele boring, however i watched it for the face on the back wall

  • The video interesting at all.

  • What horizontal thrust? There isn't any. Build a model and find out for yourself. Humans have been building homes for thousand of years before the invention of structural engineers. Many are still in use.

  • Hello dancing Rabit.

    Yet years are passed since u live in this house.

    How u live now. Are this House satisfy u? How are thei looking now.?

  • If you have another video showing how it's all built, especialy the structural measures you've taken at the walls to resist horizontal thrust, then piece this clip into that one and repost it. Then pull this one! I'm assuming you have buttresses outside the walls or a tension ring built into the wall tops to handle the thrust. I haven't watched all your other videos to know. Did you have a structural engineer calculate the loads on this builing? It is beautiful, I hope it's safe too.

  • I just saw the new roof pics in the weekly e-mail. They look really nifty, kinda like a tipi frame perched on the walls. Good luck with the rest of the house. :)
