12 sided? A mini pentagonHerr Dr. Professor wrote: ↑Wed Mar 13, 2024 1:44 am Thanks to all of you who so kindly responded. The rather stock. but schmutziges Tauchpanzer is actually sitting on the edge of a low stone retaining wall that immediately abuts a low porch. I did not even need to get off the porch to take the photos.
(Yes, I live in a woodland in what is known as the Kettle-Moraine area of southern Wisconsin, with steep glacial hillsides. My lot is just under one acre, mostly old oak trees with junky new growth, what is called a "young forest." Thirty-three years ago, with the guidance of a master builder, my late wife and I were active in building our twelve-sided, timber framed house. She helped me clear away the few trees we took down to suit the footprint of the house, snugged among the trees. I was the general contractor, grunt, and painter. Of course, we both paid and paid and paid. The whole experience was quite rewarding and completely exhausting. I could never do it again. Nonetheless, this house is a work of art built on a loving relationship, lots of sweat, and even some blood.)
I don't think there is a planning officer in the whole of the UK who would give planning permission for such a house
