Welcome to Russia. Here's your shipping crate coated in wood. Here's another shipping crate full of vodka. Try not to freeze.

Sometimes I think about disappearing into the wilderness but I just assumed someone will find me and tell me I don't own the land so leave

I wouldn't mind visiting a place like this for a weekend. But running water & plumbing are things I prefer to have in my life. Still cool!

How does the rock in wire cage roof work? Advantages?

8 years ago | Likes 23 Dislikes 0

I-think it is there to weight the structures down during high winds. Doesn’t need to be so thick just for stealth reasons

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

Also, keeps things pinned down in high winds.

It looks good

Fun fact: the landscaping term for rocks in a wire cage (usually for forming walls) is gabion!

Also keeps you stealthy from satellite images! I think...

I don't know if it would matter in that setting, but can help against hail.

Helps snow not build up on top of the building.

8 years ago | Likes 14 Dislikes 2

How would that help? (Seriously asking, not sure how it would work; wouldn't snow just build up on the rocks same as a shingled roof?)

8 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 1

My thoughts: It keeps snow from accumulating, but it does allow it to melt a bit so it doesn't pack.

Can anyone explain how chicken wire and rocks make a roof?

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

Or a foundation?

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

It's called a Gabion iirc: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabion Work as walls for motorway cuttings, also works well as protective walls 1/

for forward military bases, iirc 2/2

Based on other pictures where it is still yet to be added, my guess is it's mainly looks and just to cover the water proofing (tar paper?).

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

My only thought is maybe it’s to cover/protect pipes & wires. But it also seems like it would trap moisture on top.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

I still don't get it. Extra weight, not water tight, limited lifespan (fails when the wire fails, up to 50 years.)

Another comment says it’s to keep snow from building up on top of the building.
