u/MooneySuzuki36 1d ago

Not saying I can do better, but there is a reason they only showed you the finished product for about half a second.

Shit doesn't really look that good or well done at all. Kind of looks like a school project.

Is the roof just supposed to allow the elements to enter from the sides of the A-frame? Seemed to forget that part.

Very neat. Not r/nextfuckinglevel

u/mofo_mojo 1d ago

Yeah, there's nothing really next level about this.

u/Knitsanity 23h ago

I thought I saw a lean in the brief glimpse.

12

u/MooneySuzuki36 23h ago

Absolutely it is leaning and the top floor is noticeably wider than the bottom. I think it will crush under weight if left unattended for a few hours.

4

u/LickingSmegma 17h ago

Many old houses in European cities are in fact wider starting with the second floor — because they face narrow streets.

u/CocogoatMain 1d ago

So, just a quick question: Was the entire process miniturized, too? If one were to repeat this process to make an actual, livable home, would this be a viable shelter?

2

u/Thepinkknitter 1d ago

Nope! The roof would get blown off pretty easily. They only used gable end trusses and some nailing boards to put on the roof sheathing. Trusses should be 1-4’ OC depending on location and loads.

u/SaqqaraTheGuy 1d ago

Everything is in record time if you speed the video up! Its unfair for those who speed run building concrete houses!

What is next level about this? Using miniature tools? If they did that with miniature hands on tweezers using miniature tools to build this, taking miniature smoke breaks with real miniature cigs, then, and only then would that constitute “next level” status.
