House in Jail

I was sorting through some old photos and came across this oddity.  On a road trip to Seattle one weekend, I pulled off for a pit stop in Moses Lake, Wa.  The sight of this house TRULY left me speechless. 

What crime did it commit?  It looked like it was in jail!

Caged in, about 200 dead tree trunks surrounded it on all four sides.  They had all been neatly trimmed to a uniform height.  Very tidy.  I have never seen anything like it. Although I did have the thought, "I am SO GLAD that this isn't my listing..."

Wow, I wonder what was behind all of that? Maybe they needed the limbs for firewood!

Maybe, they felt it gave them a measure of privacy or they like that secluded feel. Maybe it's a meth lab.
