Mysteries

I’m trying to figure why the bottom of the board-and-batten outer wall falls short of the ground to the right of the girl and boulder compared with the left side. (And what’s that rock doing there, anyways?) Furthermore, the bottoms of the boards look degraded and rotten but the vertical post looks worn away or even chewed by something. What would that something have been? I wouldn’t crawl into that space even if you offered me a shiny new dime.
