I thought of Fred's structures when I saw this little cabin. Are the chains more than decorative?

Hey Jim,
Thanks for sharing. They just need to get that roof curving in multiple directions and it would be right up my alley.

I suspect the chains act as guides to water (in addition to serve some aesthetic value), much like downpipes channel water to the ground surface.

Kwist,
Probably but perhaps not, although I have a bunch of work ahead of me to prove that.
I've been plugging away on experiments with PVC pipe structures and although the progress has been slow I've been reasonably pleased with the results. I'd make faster progress with a bigger research budget but that might jeopardize my marriage.
