Wooden Houses That Are Really Big

Sounds like a lame topic for a post, but they’re cool, I swear.

At 13 floors (144 ft) this is the tallest wooden house in the world. It was built by one-time wealthy gangster Nikolai Sutyagin in northern Russia.

He still gives death-defying tours of the whole thing, but mostly resides in a couple rooms on the first floor. Full article in the telegraph, here.

And here is the largest treehouse in the world.
