Happy Not For Sale Wednesday! Or, sorry, it’s Not For Sale Wednesday, if you’re the person — and you know who you are — who complained that NFSW “never includes what I think it should.” Anyhoo. So, you’ve always wondered what it’s like to be a squished rat living in a wood pile. Wonder no more! It turns out it’s quite pleasant.
This camouflage is especially useful for hiding from those annoying door-to-door nonprofit canvassers (and I say this as someone who used to be one; apologies, people of the greater Boston area, for interrupting your dinners). Just lower the windows and pretend to be a termite. Not even the most dedicated animal-rights activist expects a termite to sign a petition. I think.

Loveliest comment, by Stuart: “Well, Lieutenant, it looks like the perp disappeared into the woods. There’s no trace of him, and the only thing around is 3.78 cords of perfectly stacked firewood. Guess we should just call it a day.”

It’s all good til you get the tree-huggers outside protesting the death of all those logs.
you mean like those that were up in Cloquet several years ago. the ones who didnt study their history. and assumed that the lumber folks were cutting down all the old woods. when all of the old wood died in the Great Cloquet Fire.
with those Tree Huggers. no matter what you tell them. they aint gonna listen. to them, they are always correct.
Where can I get one?!?
I can only think of one word, “Beavers!”
Heck, I think that all the time!
Perv alert! Perv alert!
Is that Dick Cheney looking out the window getting ready to tell the kids to get off his lawn?
spitlaugh!
Maybe that’s the imfamous “undisclosed location” Cheney was always at…
if it weren’t on a listing I’d think it was photoshopped! Cool
I’m not sure the man looking out of the window isn’t, he looks oddly stretched and 2 dimensional like he was added much later and squashed to fit
sings “oh who is that creepy man in the window, how much is that creepy man in the window?”
Finally a pile of logs where one can sit on the toilet and fry their eggs and check their email and pet the cat on the couch all at the same time!
When I look at that, all I can think is, “So many spiders. *shudder* There would be so many spiders.”
“Well, Lieutenant, it looks like the perp disappeared into the woods. There’s no trace of him, and the only thing around is 3.78 cords of perfectly stacked firewood. Guess we should just call it a day.”
“Yes, clearly there’s nothing here except this firewood, in a completely rectangular stack with no visible means of support. We’re out of here.”
It’s mobile, which is good. You’ll need to attach it to your ATV and move once you run out of new places to do your business in the woods.
And that would certainly freak out the people driving behind you. “Honey, do you see any ropes holding those great big logs together, or are they going to come crashing through our windscreen any second?”
That thing is majorly cool.
Why do I get the feeling something is watching me?
Be sure to check out this ‘house’ on the same site. The photoshopping makes it all worthwhile

“how much wood can a woodchuck chuck if a… sorry, couldn’t resist
haha that was sooo funny
why are all the modular homes are more fit for southern areas where there is not much to no snow?
why cant there be at least one made for northern areas where there is heavy snow?
they do have them for more northern climes. they are very modular, very earth friendly. you create the home at the site using only locally obtained materials. can be put together by just about anyone. and when done, can be left at the site where created, where it will slowly become one with the landscape, returning back to nature. no trace of it will be found within just a few months.
the ultimate, really, in ‘green’ living.
its called an igloo.
igloos are only possible in the extreme north.
i’m talking areas like from central to south alaska, washington, idaho, montana, north dakota, south dakota, minnesota. also central to south canada. that area.
and not just for a part of the year. but YEAR around. flat or near flat roofs like on most eco prefabs are not made to shed snow.
by the way, I’m in minnesota.
from that comment of yours. i’d say that you are a southerner
actually 9 yrs of living in Anchorage Alaska
and it was meant as a joke. never seen an igloo in person. they dont make them in AK
been wishing I could afford to move to the Talkeetna area.
My first thought was that it’s still illegal in most states to rig dead-fall traps for burglars… then I realized that this was actually an observation blind for alien sociologists.
Looks a bit like “cordwood masonry” which has been used in parts of Canada and the US to build houses, but not quite. Basically, that technique involves setting what looks like firewood in mortar, as if it were stone — but it requires some tricks to make this more or less practical. You get some problems with seasonal changes in the amount of moisture in the air, and it helps to have rot-resistant wood.
Or faux wood.
“Oh, look! Some considerate person already set up the bonfire for us!”
Okay, I just looked at the interior shot on the website. Who was the bozo who covered the seat cushions in yellow floral, primary stripes, and that brown whatever-it-is print??? All on the SAME SEAT?
What was left over on the $0.50/yard table at the flea market?
That explains the itchy red spots.
or at the scraps and pieces table at a local fabric warehouse.
nice way to recycle old doors. turn them into shelving as the standing parts.
Non-profit canvassing in Massachusetts, you say? Did you work for MASSPirg? DID YOU COME TO MY HOUSE AND INTERRUPT MY DINNER!?
Oh well, “LovelyListing” makes up for all of that. Thanks!
Um… well… an offshoot of MASSPirg. Sorry about your dinner. I think I could still do most of the spiel. “Hi, my name’s Sara, and I’m from Mass Citizens for Safe Energy. We’re the group that’s leading the campaign to shut down nuclear power plants in Massachusetts…”
I got fired for never, ever making quota.
i wish i would use that 4 the winter
umm….where is the bathroom?
TWO WORDS:
ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE!!!
