>>1881609But there's a difference between a wood house, like, say, what they use in traditional Japanese construction, and pic related, which is basically a glorified shack on some thin foundation which will sink in a couple years straight into the ground, if it doesn't blow over in the wind before then. The cheapest material possible, just popsice stick 2x4s and plywood.
>>1881617Yes, you're right, but OP mentions construction, which implies current day construction and its practices. None of the shacks being built today will last as long as those 17th century buildings have.
