Why are Americans so allergic to proper building materials?
>>540057336Jews and shekels
>>540057336Idk why people seemingly forget that wood houses are a fire hazard.
>>540057336bitwit? more like midwit
>>540057336I think it's cheapest that way, not only in terms of materials but labour too. It's not like here where you can build your own house without worrying about certified masons, building codes and whatnot
Wood is plentiful and cheap here. Remember, all new housing have piss bottles inside the walls.
>>540057336Simple economicsAmerican House>Made of cheap trash>Put together quickly>With cheap mexican labour>Designed to fall apart after 35+ years>Overall cheap disposable productNon-American House>Made of premium materials>High building standards>Qualified builders and labourers on a living wage>Designed to last 60+ years>A home built with the intent to last foreverYou get 10 American houses for 1 Euro house.
>>540057336He probably lives on the west coast, they don’t have weather but they do have earthquakes so wood is actually ideal. Also no one has basements, only “casitas”
>>540057336Europeans seething at low cost American housing will never not make me chuckle.
>>540057443>it's cheapest that waybingo>>540057487except you are wrong, you get 10 euro houses for 1 american house
>>540057336>entirely out of fucking woodCorrection: particle board.
>>540057336Fucking wood?Is that a hardwood? Sounds like hardwood, but the stuff in the picture don't look like hardwood.
>>540057584Still wood. And glue
It costs around 130.000 dollars in materials to build a standard 2400 square feet american home, which is already 5 times larger than a commieblock cell.Labor for assembly is around 2000 man-hours, at 15 dollars an hour its 30.000 dollars.
Brick houses still catch fire. The shit inside is flammable.
>>540057336Research the FHA and the MPS for a good rabbit hole on American Housing manufacturing and legal codes. The cement industry and lumber industry does a good job to make housing expensive to build, built with cheap design, and make it not last for shit.
>>540057487>60+ yearsThat's cute, my house is approaching seven centuries
>>540057558europe is no longer european, the focus is now on turning waste into money if you havent heard
>>540057487It makes white flight easier. They're smart.
>>540057336>named bitwitIt's...in the name?
>>540057699I've wanted to visit isle of man, haven't seen that flag
>>540057584particle board is the goyslop of building materials
>>540057487The cost are also differently distributed. To build a house here you pay way more for the land, permits, work and other bullshit so the share of the cost from building materials is much smaller. If its a megaproject to begin with because of regulations you might as well build for eternity as you never want to go through this again. If land is cheap/widely availabe and regulations lax and you can do this easy again so you just build a new house every 20 years as its no big deal. Then cheap materials are obviously superior. You also get 100 parcels of US land for 1 parcel of Euro Land. Its crowded as fuck here.
>>540057392After half if London burned down in 1666 timber was banned as a building material. The buildings that went up in the ensuing 50 years are still standing.
>>540057487>Designed to fall apart after 35+ yearsThe mulatto build cardboard house doesn't even last the duration of the mortgage. Unless you're buying old the only state with half decent building regulations is Florida as they require you use masonry.
A good wooden house can last 150 years. When maintenance in can last 300 years. But at that point most of the woods already replaced. A proper bick house last 300-600 or 1000 years with good maintenance.A stone house will last 1000-80000 years, with a good maintenance it can last 2000000 years.

>>540057443correct. europeans simply cant accept that people in north america dont have unlimited money. i dont know why they find that so fascinating but it is what it is.
>>540057392Every house in finland is made out of wood, what are you talking about?
>>540058148
>>540057336As someone who lives near old wooden houses dating back to the war or older, this is funny to me.
>>540057336>Good for earthquakes>Quick to rebuild if destroyed>Easily modified The real problem is treating things like they don't decay. Entropy always wins. Life and everything in it are temporary. Sure it may cost an arm and a leg but if that's what you choose to attach to then you're just gonna have a bad time and it's no one's fault but your own skewed or limited perception. If you want a house that won't burn then live in a grave.
>>540057487This guy is a fucking idiot. Australian houses have polystyrene wall cladding on timber frames
>>540058425>Entropy always wins.The drystone walls from the Romans are still standing in my town. What time frame are we talking about? The only reason they build houses out of matchsticks in the US is to scam the owner. It's a circular racket between the construction companies, insurance and banks. The only person who loses is you the owner and you still defend it.
>>540058562People who want a house thats lasts will build for it. People who want a house to get in the market will build for it. Theres a range of house quality like theres a range of quality for most products.
>>540057336>be american>brag about great GDP>brag about poorest mutt is more wealthy than most rich europoor>cry about $5/gallon fuel>build house out of cardboard because it's "cheaper"generally it's not that cheaper, it's 10 to 50 percent cheaper than concrete but concrete has no downsides.
>>540058562What's the local nature like there? Any tornados or earthquakes to speak of? Just because it's suitable for one biome doesn't mean it is for others. Is there a problem with the system? Obviously. I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about the structure itself. Brick and stone is too expensive to build with when big wind will come and knock it over anyway in a year. Floods too.
>>540057336Because you can't legally build anything else.
>>540057984>wooden house can only last 150 yearsCitation
Why doesnt the house in the OP have any fucking grass for a lawn?Oh right, its a site and they've just put it together. Its probably already clad by now.Doesnt have windows or a garage door either. Fucking idiots.
>>540057336You have only mexicans, guatemalans and so on, there's no way on the planet to teach them proper construction. and white mutts are too stupid too.
>>540058633You are forgetting about the capitalistic tendency towards monopolization of the economy and that those at the top of the hierarchy have the power to dictate circumstances for the rest despite them wishing for something different.
>>540057523>They don't have weatherAre you one of those people who says "I don't have an accent" because you sound like it.
eurocookies really going back to this shit, after we just watched them bake in their concrete ovens in the equivalent of a mild New England summer heat
>>540058669>Brick and stone is too expensive to build with when big wind will come and knock it over anyway in a year.What are you on about? Florida mandates you build with masonry because it's more suited to hurricanes. As for earthquakes they have them in Japan but they don't use wood. Your only argument is it's "cheap" yet house pricing isn't cheap. What you mean is wooden housing has a higher profit margin, this is what you actual mean.
>>540058749Shut the fuck up jobless retard.I build houses of all quality. Some are entirely cinderblocks filled with concrete and rebar, some are made out of offcuts from other jobs.
>>540058425>Entropy always wins.Not to be pedantic but you should look up the real definition of entropy. I went through most of my life thinking it means "chaos" the way you are using it here because of the dumb and imprecise way we are taught this concept. What entropy really means is the possible number of sub-states in any given state.>>540058830>Shut the fuck up jobless retard.This is the only correct response to retards like OP.
It's because any actual construction technique and knowhow is lost; all you have now is 80 IQ brown shitskins who can build replicas of their huts from back home.
>>540057336They use the materials that are the cheapest and most available to them which tends to be untreated pine and plywood which give that nice cardboard look. Problem is they charge prices at the end in the millions for this trash.
>>540058735They were building pyramids to the sun when germans were building with wood like burgers
In Asia they hold their nails with chopsticks when nailing.
>>540058979Typed from a rented concrete commieblock
>>540057889So you have no earthquakes or tornadoes or hurricanes? Lucky you have that option...
>>540058706Because it's new construction, retard. The 100 or so trucks, cranes, scissor lifts, and all the other shit required to build a house will be driving on the lawn. Makes no sense to maintain grass as it's getting built
>>540059052The commieblock will outlast the duration of the mortgage. The matchstick house does not.
>>540057487My childhood house made of wood is 100+ years old my house I'm raising my family in is 50+ years old.
>>540059052how did you know he was from new york?
>>540059137I live in a house that watched your empire rise and crumble.
>>540057984One earthquake would destroy all but the wooden ones built to code.
>>540059134Yeah i know, i said its a site and thats its peobably been clad by now.
>>540059137>here's why living in a small concrete square surrounded by others is AKTCHUALLY a good thingYuros are so unfamiliar with construction and DIY culture generally that they think our houses don't last the length of the loan.I understand it's hard to build practical skills as an amateur when your landlord won't let you do as much as paint the walls, but this is beyond retarded even for your standards
>>540059137All those external braces need to be inside and bolted down
>>540059168I live in a house that watched you become a minority in your own country. My house is only 40 years old. It's fascinating isn't it.
>>540058812Sorry every house I have seen in the Japan house restoration jewtube videos are all made of wood and thatch? They don't construct from wood?
>>540058123Your average house is renovated every 20 years. Same for these plywood pieces of shit. They will refurb and fix regularly through out the mortgage cycle and it won't matter cause the labour is cheap.
>>540058812>Japan>Doesn't use woodAre you retarded? Are you under the delusion that their facades and corrugated metal they are hiding masonry? Japan famously doesn't value residential buildings choosing to tear down rather than remodel
>>540057336They wasted all their tech points on advanced tranny dating app and now they cannot unlock stone houses anymore. Dumbest noobs in human history.
>>540059272Interiors are renovated every 20 years. New paint, furnishings, fixtures, etcStructure, sheathing, foundations are generally only done on an as-needed basis, which is usually around 100 or so years. When repairs like that are needed, it's usually a pretty simple process that anyone can do on their own for just the cost of materials and an IQ of 105
>>540059252>My houseThe house you rent* I think you mean
>>540059168>>540059252These two niggas be yeetin SHATTERBALLS in glass housim
>>540057336Materials aside I watched compilations of dudes checking these brand new houses costing crazy money and it was absolute joke how they were made. If you are a burger who want to build home just find some drunk slavs, they will do better job as long you keep providing vodka.
>>540059252
>>540057558What are you talking about? Most of Europe consists of apartment and other similar multi-unit housing (duplex style for example). You seem to forget that most Europeans can't even afford their rent most of the time, let alone a detached single home. Home ownership in Europe is even worse than it is in America on average.
>>540057646Not with brick furniture
>>540057392People themselves are the biggest risk. Retards keep their phones plugged in 18 hours a day etc.

>>540057336If he made a log cabin you would all cum in your pants
>>540059657I have done this on my phone for the last 5 years and nothing bad has happened. Likewise for my work laptop.
>>540059593I was talking with some guy on discord ten years ago and he said he pays $250 for a house, he was near Seattle area. I paid 850 for a single at the time.
>>540059698They cream their pants at the sight of homes made of wood and cattle feed
>>540059717Yeah that's why they call them accidents. You are fine 99% of the time but prevention is a big part of this.
>>540057619>15 dollars an hourI wish I just had time to build my own. At 15dph, you get the craftsmanship and goodenoughism that you pay for. Whoever put no cripple stud at the top center of my wide ass window and decided the smallest possible drywall anchor would be enough to hold a 15 foot curtain rod needs to be shot, runover with a forklift, and shot again. And that goes double for whatever hack faggot sparky that ran wiring to my garage but left the holes wide open for mice instead of sealing that shit which would take 3 seconds.
that’s what you call capitalism
>>540057646True, half of the house I live in burned because some junkies lived on other side yet the building standing like it was nothing. A thick brick wall which connect my room with theirs withstand extreme heat which made their windows melt and glass explode. Literally nothing happend to my part, not even paint on the wall, none.
>>540058442>This guy is an idiot for *goes off on a random tangent*Your average australian house is built by qualified builders with licences on the line. It has multiple stages that require bank signing off on with inspections. The shit builds here are huge housing developments and investors, or units. Everyone else you can take to court over.And yes polystyrene is used in housing all over the world. It is even used in slabs and is great insulation. I live in an old house and work in an ancient building and they have no insulation and cost heaps to keep cool/warm.
>>540057336The last time globohomo wanted to erease the past it had to retcon all the buildings that it couldn't deconstruct effortlessly, so it learned and created building codes all around the world that ensured that goy pens can be easily deconstructed. Mutts got the worst building codes, because their goy pens are also subject to regulae jewish lightning to sustain insurance companies.
>>540059141Good for you. There are definitely beautiful houses in America. I'd say these days build quality is down across the board. Though America is the only place I know of that does these plywood homes with their shingle roof that can get knocked out insanely quick.
>>540059400Yeah I built my own home but I did a basic steel frame kit home nothing special.
>>540057336You can build a house from wood. For roof probably not though. Have a metal roof.
>>540060250Amerimutts supposedly also have the highest quality indoor plumbing. Here it sucks often. Toilets gets clogged easily and a lot of similar problems.
>>540057336What's with this ugly shape? Why not make it a two story house and leave larger yard space. It would also make the roof simpler.
>>540060250As someone who lives in a place regularly hammered by hurricanes; if your shit fell from the wind, you probably weren't taking proper care of it.
>>540057336As if there'd be a big difference if there's a house fire. With a stone house the walls might still be standing, but everything else is gone anyways.
wood is a euphemism for slave
>>540057379Fpbp
wood houses can be comfy
>>540058210Yeah and thats stupid too
>>540057336Wood is a proper building material. I still don't get this euro meme
>>540059176You have that backwards. Wooden homes are earthquake resistant due to their ability to sway. Brick houses are the ones that fall apart.
>>540057336Reminder that the average american lives a better life than the elitest wumao in beijing.
>>540057487The American House is superior. Look how much technology has changed in the last 60 years. You don't want houses to last 60 years. That's almost as stupid as saying you want a smartphone that lasts 60 years. No, in 60 years there won't be smartphones anymore. And maybe there won't be any houses either.
You all build like shit.
it's too expensive for them
>>540061246>a phone is the same thing as a home
>>540057336What's wrong with wood?
>>540059785I don't know why this needs to be said but nobody anywhere has ever fed reeds to cows.
Wooden houses are fine.That kind of "wooden" house is not so fine, probably a huge amount of particle board in there, bit hard to tell from the angle.>>540060587Actual proper wood house.
>>540057379>jews made me use woodnope
>>540057336We just have huge amounts of wood here
>>540061513Europeans confuse plywood and drywall too much.
>>540061350insectsmoldnot as resistant to the elementsit usually costs as much as bricknot worth it unless you're building a cabin in Canada
>>540057336wood is very cheap in America. that's why they use wood for everything.
>>540058812Just about every house I was in, in Japan, was made of wood. Most were using the same wood frame construction as one finds in the U.S., just not assembled by kikeish builders using basically imported slave labor.
>>540059104Skill issue
>>540060362We have to anon look at what they feed us
>>540061648If done right a wooden house can last as long as a brick house. Both need maintenance anyway and depend on quality construction.
>>540058812Florida has block construction for exterior walls because of hurricane IMPACT ratings, not wind. It's also only mandated in coastal zones. Also, the OP pic would be totally fine if this nigga put some 1/4" DensDeck on his roof. I'm also surprised that the fire codes in that area even let you do this. Usually fire prone areas have non-combustible exterior cladding requirements or a fire barrier like DensDeck on the roof for combustible sheathed surfaces.>t. commercial roofing contractor
>>540058669>when big wind will come and knock it over anyway in a year.Then why don't you build somewhere else
>>540061513>wood house, America:(>wood house, Europe:)
>>540057336DESU these homes are very cozy.
>>540057336Reminder rebuilding these cardboard in into hurricane, fire and flood zones once ever 2 years and claiming they are worth 6 Million Dollars each plays a major role in Amerimutts inflating their Amerimutt GPD

>>540062222>nafoid is mad
>>540058442if you live in the shit half of the country sure. On the west the homes are built on sand, very little movement in the soil - easy for solid concrete slabs - no basements here at all, double brick construction - brick wall | air gap | brick wall, roof is simple prefab AS1604 trusses and tiles / colourbond. All these products for tapping into your wall to hang things up doesn't work when your walls on the inside of your house are bricks. You need a fucking hammerdrill just to put up a frame lelHouses are fucking expensive everywhere now, but anything built post 2014 in Australia that isn't custom built is guaranteed to be absolute dogshit. My shitbox was built 2001 and they cut so many fucking corners, but it just keeps going, little patch here, little fix there, she'll be right. Meanwhile some cunts have got their houses living wall to wall hearing the shit kids fight and their parents threatening to stab them while you're trying to eat dinner. Then the shitty pvc pipes they used to replace traditional copper pipes explode and absolutely destroy the house that is owned by people who absolutely don't have enough home and contents.
Boomer shitheads like to build new houses every 15 years with money they stole from young people. Gotta impress that Facebook feed after all…
>>540057336He lives in Los Angeles. You're building your own tomb if you build a brick/stone house on the San Andreas fault line.
>>540061779there is no comparison when it comes to maintenance.
>>540061855Wood can be a great building materiel when you use the correct stuff the problem is we now use this dogshit green pine because it’s cheap. You know those old plantation houses in the south? They built those out of old growth swamp cypress. It’s hard as stone and basically immune to termites. It will last 200 years. Too expensive for modern McMansions though. If you ever build a house make them use this shit
>>540062245>Be amerimutt>Live in a cinder block>Die in a fire>hehe at least my regime doesnt publish real heat stroke death statistics like those white pepo we dont do that here in america

>>540057487>>Designed to fall apart after 35+ yearsThat's off by a factor 5 at least.American houses are a product, not a house. They're primarily meant to be consooomed.

>>540057471Piss bottles? In *my* walls?
>>540059593>Home ownership in Europe is even worse than it is in America on averageSurprisingly incorrect
Dear Americans, let me show you a story that explains how the world works. Apparently you're not familiar with it.
>>540063792Do they count apartments as homes?
>>540057471This is a problem in commercial construction also. I retired from one of the top general contractors in the western US. The Mexicans are doing this and it's not even like they are doing piecework and can't take 5 minutes to go to the shitter. On our projects there would be two j johns on every single deck which we would have to bring down and back up the elevators twice a week for cleaning. These goddamn monkeys would still piss in fucking bottles, or piss right down any penetration in the decks whether it had plumbing hooked up or not.

>>540064479>apartments aren't homes>carboard boxes held up with toothpicks are homesAlso don't pretend like Americans don't want to live in apartments, you'd be lucky to pay less than $4k/month in rent for a shoebox in most of your non-flyover cities because people are so desperate to not live in some suburban hell with a 60 minute (one way without traffic, 90 minutes with it) commute. It's just that your zoning laws are retarded so you end up with very few apartments near the center and giant suburban wastelands of cardboard houses further out so people don't have a choice (unless they want to pay the insane rent).
>>540059213>Yuros are so unfamiliar with construction and DIY culture generallyWe build our own houses from bricks, you fucking retard.

>>540059168>>540059252You both live in glass houses Stop throwing stones.
>>540057336I used to think like this but wood houses actually make sense in many (hot) parts of the US where concrete and stone/brick/masonry is just too damn hot, apparently.That said, I couldn't live in anything but a stone house just out of habit so if I'd ever live there, I'd find some way to live in a concrete/brick home. I'd never pay a million or even half a million bucks for a bunch of wooden beams and planks and that this is now the norm in the US seems absolutely insane.We have so much building and isolation knowhow, tech, material science, etc. there must be many ways for it to be feasible for hot climates, any builder anons care to explain?
>>540064401Cause theyre not homes. If you dont own the land its not a home.
>>540065252My uncle's wood frame house is more than 100 years old
>>540065713100 year houses were built from 200 year old trees. Oldge trees don't exist any more, if they aren't harvested by 20 years they get incinerated/locusted/carved by chaos cults.
>>540064337Fuck these gringos>>540065252Because it cost a lot of money to transport bricks 800 miles.Trees grow everywhere, and in the places they don't grow, alternative building practices are used. We have much more extreme weather, in the US, and it makes more sense for houses to flex than be rigid and destroy integrity of the walls in the even of a tornado or earthquake.Places along the gulf coast make concrete buildings for events like hurricanes.The the Joplin tornado in 2014, the tornado lifted the entire hospital (made of concrete and precast) off the ground.Wood flex, brick doesn't. As long as the house isn't in the direct path of a tornado, they usually fare well.
