I didn’t want to use treated wood to make the house so I put the waterproofing on to protect the wood so it doesn’t rot as the house is sitting on earth. It took a while to build it so I was hoping it would last a few years and without some kind of protection I doubt it would. I must admit I don’t know if condensation is going to be an issue but there is air coming in the front and air holes in the back so I would hope that would limit it at least. The way I look at it is no hog house is perfect but should give them a better chance at surviving the winter.
As to the cameras I understand once they start hibernating I won’t see any activity, I put them in to hopefully catch some of the nest/hibernacula building and also for next year if I’m lucky enough to get a pregnant hog take up residence.
I also have an existing one-hog house built the same way currently under the front hedge with a small hog that has made a hibernacula in it but is still coming in and out to feed and add to it
