LYleK Posted February 12, 2005 Author Share Posted February 12, 2005 (edited) It looks like a big house of cards, I don't think I'd park my truck under it (let alone climb it); and they're crawling around on the inside!! They may be trying out for the 2005 Darwin's ... edit: Any armchair-physicists with thoughts on it's integrity (or lack thereof)? At first I assumed it would eventually collapse under it's own weight but maybe I'm off base. Would it self-compensate as it grew from the ground-up? He does talk about it collapsing from being top-heavy earlier in the season, and it sounds like it makes a lot of noise from movement. Sure looks cool though, it'd be hard not to get on it if it were in the backyard. Edited February 12, 2005 by LYleK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
