``For the one-time gangster who built it, it is nothing less than "the
eighth wonder of the world". The less charitably disposed dismiss it
as a glorified barn, fire hazard and eyesore.

But on one thing everyone agrees: Nikolai Sutyagin's home is certainly
different.

Dominating the skyline of Arkhangelsk, a city in Russia's far
north-west, it is believed to be the world's tallest wooden house,
soaring 13 floors to reach 144ft - about half the size of the tower of
Big Ben.

The house that Sutyagin built is also crumbling, incomplete and under
threat of demolition from city authorities determined to end the
former convict's eccentric 15-year project. ''

"This would have been a great room for making love," he said, balancing
on a plank he has just thrown over a chasm in the floor.
"This one would have been even better," he said, two floors higher.
"Look at that view."



Well, maybe so, but being in a collapsing building during orgasm may
make one think he's made the earth move, but is really only a poor sort
of coitus interruptus.

A house that big would cost a fortune to heat. Maybe Morris could put in
some solar heating.

It immediately reminded me of the house the sheriff
Little Bill was building in the movie "Unforgiven"
Only 13 stories high.

When I lived in Russia, some homes were built in similar ways, though
they were usually 1-2 story tall. Basically when people would come
across enough wood suitable for construction, they would make an
addition, etc.

Typically Russian ********..but they think it's great.

Would make a good Halloween House of Horrors or a good movie set for a
remake of the Adams Family.
