[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you say concrete, do you mean brick? Most homes in Europe are built out of bricks, even the cheaper new builds. It blows my mind to see bits of 2 x 4 thrown up on new housing developments over here and then the for sale sign saying ‘starting at the low 900’s’ !! As if I’m paying $900k for a house made out of wood. No f-ing way.[/quote] A properly built and maintained wood house lasts essentially forever. There are wood houses in Europe that are a thousand years old. [/quote] Modern wood homes don't use anywhere near the same quality of wood anymore. Modern wood is garbage quality and constantly rots, gets easily eaten by termites, and just isn't as strong as what people used to use.[/quote]
