faster and cheaper
>>220847674so long as you take high quality wood and not some pressboard you'll be fine and buildings can stand for centuries.just be careful with open fires and you'll be alright
>>220847709For the developersI'll never ever understand why don't they buy a bare lot or demolish whatever is in there, and build a proper brick house.
>>220848753>For the developersand the person who buys the house, or commissions it to be built
>>220847674Whoever built that thing was a complete retard with zero understanding of structural integrity. You can't just stack separate stick boxes on top of each other like that. It will fall down like in the video. What you need to do is build the entire house with a single sturdy frame that goes uninterrupted from the foundation to the roof.
>>220847674We do. At least in new England. Seems to be a regional thing.
>>220848803No, the issue is the builder tried to cheap out by having the framers do all three levels at once. You're supposed to frame then sheathe each level before starting the next one because the sheathing is what gives it shear strength
>>220847674>bricksCommunism.
>>220848954No, you always support the whole thing from the foundation up, not in separate stacks. It's complete retardation to not support it.
>>220847674I like how the porta potty falls right before it
>>220848921It's common in the northeast. Everything outside the northeast corridor is suburban burgerpunk.
>>220848803You're a yuropoor, nobody cares what you think. Commie.
>>220847709fpbpjust shit em out
>>220848803Commie bitch.
>>220849063kek
>>220847709>>220848753but the brits have mostly developers and build with bricks
>>220849495I'm not saying wood is better, I'm just saying that is why Americans use it
>>220848364>with open firesand incendiary bombs, be carefull around them too.
New builds are fucking awful and I hate them so fucking mucht. home inspector
>>220848364cant figure out the dimensions of this, is the door like 1 meter tall?
>>220849495They might be slightly better, but our new builds are still quite shit
We're still doing this huh? That video is from 2018. The frame of the house was constructed within a day. There was a derecho before it could be shod.>While National Weather Service criteria define a derecho as a storm system traveling at least 240 miles (or 400 miles under older standards) with a width of 60 miles and producing continuous wind damage, forecasting their exact formation, path, and intensity is often difficult more than 24 hours in advance.Notice the porta shitter on the right getting blown around like an empty plastic bag. A derecho is essentially a hurricane in a straight line. Could you idiot niggers please get new material, thanks, eat shit and I hope your childhood dog gets dug up and eaten by coyotes.
>>220849289>>220849306Mad ameriniggers retards who don't know how to build houses that don't get knocked over by a little wind.
>>220850082what the fuck is a derecho? use English words to describe things.
>>220847709>cheaperRecently, my Youtube shorts showing me american home inspections. Those wooden homes look like crap from a technical point of view and cost over $500,000
>>220847709Faster, yes. Cheaper? Everybody with half a brain knows that real estate price is decided by location, location, location... For everyone but self builders this is a non factor. Having said that though my family's wattle and daub house from the 1830s is going strong to this day and I'd rather live there than in the panel block shithole my parents forcibly moved me to when I was young, Wood is good, it's a wonderful building material and it'd also be dirt cheap for me to self build a half timbered house in Serbia too compared to how unsustainably expensive things are getting in the cities. Still, the American way sucks, half timbering is TRVD and miles better as far as durability is concerned.
>bricks 3000BC>Stones12000BC>timbers/metallic framesSigns of advanced civilization
>>220849495>Get a house>It is barely larger than an decent apartment>No backyard tooI get the perks of not being tied to who knows how many other morons you share the apartment block with, and I also understand that more volume means more expensive upkeep,but these suburb houses just seem like way too big of a compromise with neither the benefits of being a city slicker with all convenience at a walking distance or a proper house out in the sticks with room to breathe and space to be loud and rowdy
>>220853131That's essentially it. Growing up in the suburbs means you can't do anything interesting until you gtfo as a young adult and retroactively do everything you missed out on as a teen
>>220852351>and cost over $500,000that is mostly due to land cost, not the construction>For everyone but self builders this is a non factor.developers want to save on building. saving 100k per house adds up if you build hundreds per year
>>220853131>>220853529>"anything interresting">troons out in a city appartment
>>220853875Your trans journey has nothing to do with my shitty hometown anon
>>220847674They do. You will never own a home btw lmao
