Re: IE people, the animals and the elements of the house

I don't know if this is a common cultural thesaurus, this is why I will try
to ask here about the denomination of the elements of the house . In Rom.
Lang., almost every part of the house , almost every element has the name of
an animal.
I will make a short list here with some denominations and if you
find something similar in your own language or in the languages you know, I
guess it will be interesting to compare them:

the elements which are making the basis of the house are called "bears"
(urSi)
the wooden walls are closed up at the ends with "little dogs" (c�Tei)
the roof is made up due a lot of roebocks (c�priori)
the both ends of the roof are called horses (cai)
the place where thee "roebocks" are comming together is called "goat"
(capr�)
the head of the roof is protejed by some animals called skylarks(ciocarlani)
or cocks(cocoSi)
the doors are closed up with frogs (broaSte)

etc.

I really wonder if there is something similar in other IE languages as well.
