I went to Vegas, and to a restaurant in the Venetian hotel next to the indoor canal. They asked if we wanted to sit inside or outside, so we sat outside under the fake sky. I was also massively jetlagged the first day, so I walked over to the shops at Caesar's. I must have been there before the official opening, because at 9am sharp, the music started and the lights changed to make it dusk in this fake "outdoor" street. It was pretty jarring to go from daytime to dusk in an instant.

I live in a fairly temperate climate so the goal is something that needs little to no heating or AC to be comfortable. I see, so that would be the big thermal mass method. How cold does it get where you are? I’d say that’s not going to be efficient to heat if it gets even vaguely chilly. Traditional houses (eg in the UK) built using that setup also relied on keeping a stove or fires going 24/7 to be comfortable & avoid damp issues.

Conducting the harmony of the spheres is trivial compared to maintaing the house edge.

wooger posted:I see, so that would be the big thermal mass method. How cold does it get where you are? Southern US so sub-tropical climate that only occasionally drops below freezing; winter temps usually hover around 5- 10°C. Summers get up to the mid thirties regularly so cooling is a bigger priority. Wattle and daub isn't a big thermal mass, or at least doesn't have to be, which is why I'm favoring it right now for an above ground structure.

Platystemon posted:There’s a dope underground house in Las Vegas. Wow. Having a fake underground yard seems to be pushing it a bit, unless its to keep you from going stir crazy in your nuke/quarantine bunker. I mean, I would have thought that having an underground house meant you had a majority of the lot to landscape into a really dope, you know, actually above ground yard.

cantilevers are a thing, that could be fine, those are some big beams. But, the generally decrepit state suggests poor maintenance, and that in turn could mean it's a DIY ramshackle death trap. Also the way it seems like there should be a third beam down on the left side, but I'm not convinced its' actually sloping there, that could be a lens effect at the edge of the image. e. oh there is a beam, it's just covered in plants.

Cantilevers on top of cantilevers. Does the two braces going in different directions add strength to that one corner/wall?

Ohhh so it's not really a house house, it' a cabin that has gotten out of hand. Yeah, that could work. Sort of a low-budget Cabin in the Woods/House of Leaves mashup.

Horizontal cracks along the length of beams do not necessarily indicate a major issue and could just be due to natural shrinkage or expansion of wood, or could be how the piece originally came. Vertical cracks or circular cracks would be more worrying. But the actual part that worries me the most is the vent (HVAC?) cut in the beam that looks like it exceeds 1/2 of the beam width. Typically, beams are constructed so that you can only cut a maximum of 1/3, and certain structural beams are even more strict with how much you can drill through them.
