>>1529643>Show us a pic of your house (actually your parent's house but w/e)pic related (yeah, obviously not THAT house, since some autist might order Pizza to it, but same age, same style, same materials. and I'm not going to post my parents house, but it's just your average small town house.
>Poured concrete & rebar basement (with one slightly deeper room built out of brick to store food and beer)>Insulated bricks first floor, double-glazed windows>second floor is actually wood, but certainly no 2x4. More like 30x40 (12X16 in inches…)>tiled roof with solar panels>small lawn, large vegetable garden with a greenhouseJust average, really
>>1529751Your're right. Wood is really a fantastic material! The problem is just that it's associated so hard with american single use homes, that no one in the civilized world want's to touch it, yet alone spend money for a house made out of wood. With the whole climate-neutral buildings thing however, wood is gaining foothold again (or rather, coming back, used to be a pretty common building material back in the day)
>>1529862I actually has some benefits. At first burning forms a layer of burned whood, that can't burn anymore and protects the stuff inside it, while staying stable. building's still fucked, but you got time to evacuate/extinguish. But you need way more than a 2x4.
