I'm getting smoke damage in Valheim just by looking at this.

Wait, what are those weird extrusions on the roof poles? Normally you would have two large pieces of wood sticking out because you need to press down on the thatch, or whatever cover you use, at the top, and two heavy branches in an X-shape are very convenient for that.

But this seems decorative, and the roof just stays down by itself?

Edit: nevermind, I see the old "rock on a string" method in use here!
