Well what caught my eye first off was the terribly poor design and construction of the cabin. Notice the seams all lined up in the center. Maybe this was once half this size and they built on and that is where the connection was made. But still. And they sure needed some black paper and strips on the outside. Man the wind must have blown right through that place. On a windy day, you wouldn't be able to light a candle.
