A new house being built down the street from me

Always amses me to see you guys build your wood houses. This looks so much like a construction game for children, I want to play too!

Remember when we had enough room to build a house?

"I want a house."

"We can squeeze one in here."

"Oh..."

"For $800K."

"Ooh...."

"You don't want it? There's a line."

"Okay..." 😔

I don't see floor trusses used too often so it's neat to see them here

Ok… and?

I'm currently in a neighborhood that was empty farmland as far as they eye could see just 5 years ago. I had never seen a building being built before, but now I drive past 4 complexes being built just on my way to the grocery store. They're also building a closer grocery store.

This area is going to be so nice in like 5 years, but right now it's an absolute mess of construction, road widenings, putting utilities in the ground, etc. We didn't even have cell access here when I moved in 9 months ago.

ITT: Bricks good, wood bad. Nobody with a clue about thermal bridging and energy efficiency to be found.

This looks like the perfect Lemmy post.

A bunch of people who know fuck-all about the subject matter at hand (in this case construction), and then sprinkle in the usual anti-American bias that flavors a large number of posts on this site. The only thing missing seems to be something dealing with Linux or some pro-commie spin.

Everyone in the comments is suddenly a construction and climate expert.

I always wondered why american houses are destroyed so easily in storms

I now have my answer

They're building it right in front of those other people's windows. Fuck these people.
