bob although the insides would of been much better insulated than these the heat that pours out of these things would of kept melting the snow. the arch design of these is also incredibly strong. i walk all over the tops of these when im working on them. the phragmites house i have to do on the other hand was listing and one heavy snow crushed it. im sure they would of done other things to protect their home too.

Jamie, ive said it before and im gonna say it again.
you definatly have some ancient mojo in you.
youve got skills that most modern folks cant even imagine anymore.
when i buy my place in the country,are you gonna come up and show me how to make one ;D
thats way cool.
when we were in Va. last fall we stopped at an "indian village",well a modern replica of one.
they had several reed houses,very cool.the people that worked there playing parts as natives were quit knowledible about all of the
structure and the reasons behind why they used what they used.they even had a fence made that strecthed around the entire village.
it was made from saplings placed in the ground every so many feet,then other smaller saplings were woven inbetween the poles.it made a very sturdy solid
fence.they said it was not only to help prevent the elements from the camp but also for defensive reasons.
