Makes you wonder what Noah's neighbor's thought.

FOR ITS PURPOSE - to demonstrate SCALE - it's not bad. It'd have been much more interesting, though, I think, if it was done more nearly in the fashion in which it would have been built. Timbers wouldn't have been squared off (no reason - no show), trunnels would have been used instead of bolts, cages (if any) fashioned from saplings instead of 2x2.

There'd have been shovels. Lots & lots of shovels. :)

EDIT: Come to think of it, the timberframe style would have been different, too. The style shown reflects much later improvements over the very early basic "cruck".
