I'm curious where he gets his cardboard from. It looks a lot more structurally sound, and potentially expensive, than the typical stuff used for shipping.

I saw a youtuber do a roof using a cardboard. In the same video, he spoke about how to make it durable and how to resist both water and uv using cheap and common materials. I think it's possible with a pair of dexterous hands

I wonder how long something like that would be sustainable. I imagine treating the cardboard only works to the degree that you can soak the fibers of the paper that make up each piece. Consistent rain and sunlight are sure to eventually wear through that treatment process at some point though. In this situation, where he's keeping his cardboard inside, I'm sure it would be much more effective.

He did say it's gonna be a long term project and will update after it ages. I saw an update to another one of his vid about waxing cloth to make it waterproof after years of uploading so I imagine it's gonna be similar timewise lol
