Why do Americans build houses out of cardboard?

It's cheap and surprisingly there's little that will take them down. A tornado will fuck up a stone house anyway and houses in hurricane prone areas aren't built that way anyway

To make europoors seeth.

it's fast, easy and cheap
i think they also move often, so why would you need to spend for a concrete house if you won't be there in 5 years.

to make europoors upset.

europoors dont have energy to heat
europoors think going 2 grocery store every day is normal
poor europoors

They don't they build them out of wood.

>Why do Americans build houses out of cardboard?
Because you can't run insulation, electric wiring or HVAC ducts through bricks retard. Come out of the stone age already.

Is everyone trolling? This isn't cardboard, it's plywood. Much higher resistance to cracking when compared to concrete, bricks, hardwood, etc.

They use it in Europe too. In fact the EU started replacing load-bearing beams with plywood before the US did. All that glue mixed with woodchips is literally stronger than steel if there's enough layers.

Doesn't anyone watch Grand Designs or This Old House? They are hardcore focused on the trades and super autistic. Especially TOH, which explains *everything* in great detail.

In the uk we have layers, outer brick, insulation, inner brick and more layers inside for wiring etc... you're an idiot

99% of the USA is either in an earthquake zone, tornado zone or hurricane zone.

We can't really use bricks on anything that's more than a single story. Tall buildings are built from metal and reinforced concrete.

OBS and plywood are fine. After that you can use composite boards and materials. I build in europe for 30 years. New "cardbox" homes are much better

>is everyone trolling?
if you need to ask...

It's cheap, so we can build houses bigger. Americans don't like living in tiny houses like Europoors.

because when made well plywood is stronger then hard woods.

Brick is a terrible idea in zones of high seismic activity.

>Small but quality
>Big but trash
I'll take the first one.
>t. 18th century stonework house Bong

Most houses aren't though. They're landfill garbage. My house (which is probably close to 100 years old) is structurally more sound than a lot of the landfills that are popping up all over the place.
My house is quite sturdy, but the problem with living in a 90 year old house is that if there is a fire the house will go up in flames in moments due to having sawdust as insulation.
I have however replaced most of that as I gutted most of the inside to get rid of plaster walls and update the wiring.

Home owners already had the house built and are concerned about the cost of fixing what they have. New buildings is a racket. They try to pass the costs on to the home owner. The investors defaulted after some point and a bank got it for pennies on the dollar and is re-selling it for exorbitant amounts. It's like the banks work with these scammers hand in hand. How do all these people that run scams put their money into the economy without paying taxes, it's almost as if they give it to banks and then the banks act as if they have no money and take out loans to do more shit like this.

I'm a Brit, we have always been good at construction. Can't lie, the Amerifags know how to build

Giving you the benefit of a doubt, you literally live in mud brick houses like the racist say africans do. You make a waddle wall out of sticks and over it in mud, then plaster over that. It's amazing your countries architecture is considered high tech.

Florida uses CBS construction because we actually need sturdy walls.

This looks like the stuff we build our schools and prisons out of. Not peak comfy.

I bet you would because you don’t have a choice. There is a reason everyone in Europe is on antidepressants, it’s because you all live in tiny little prison cells.

>uncut
Yes, its currently uncut.. which does not mean its old growth. It's already been logged before, though to be fair it's still better than the shit you buy in the big box store but still not old growth.

Mate, what are you even talking about? When you say mud do mean cement? The thing that Romans built with 2000 years ago, cuz those builds are still standing today? And when you say sticks do you mean durable wooden frames? We also insulate our homes, walls windows, roof, the lot as standard.With that said, so many houses are built differently in the UK, i'd imagine there are a few mud huts but these definitely aren't common

Is it balloon frame? I've got a 1922 balloon frame, yes the houses are made from better material but the building codes were less.

I wish I knew what my house (and accompanying barn) were made from. I was told Chestnut, but everyone says there house is made from Chestnut lol.

I like this one

Well they would insulate and put drywall or something up. Yeah the old schools used to be made of that shit, sturdy it seems.

Behold British mud huts faggot

Wattle and daub is actually a pretty infamous brit technique. Maybe if you did anything other than stalk that rose character from your country you might have learned a thing or two about construction.

Okay, you're not a shitty failure colony of the roman empire, you've exceeded them by making tea so popular people don't understand that it's called chai if it was transported by land instead of ship. You sound like a creepy weirdo if you don't call it "tea". You live in the shadow of other empires and always will.

My 3000 sq foot house cost about $400k to construct, before any land costs. Your paper boxes are probably about a quarter the price.

Now who is the poor cuck in your cardboard grease infested shack?

Go and eat lard, fatass.

Like legos

What are you talking about? Ive seen multi storey factories bearing more weight than any house made out of bricks. Let alone brick towers

Mate you are talking about a fucking technique that has been discontinued for centuries, no one in the UK is building with wattle and fucking daub. Maybe if you pulled your acne infested chins out of your quintuplet 10 pounder cheese burger you would learn a thing or two about modern construction.

My nan drinks tea mate, everyone else i know drinks coffee.

And don't start a conversation about living in shadows of other empires and "borrowing" ideas from other countries. America loves copying the world so much they built an entire fucking city like it, complete with a miniature Eiffel tower, big ben and everything! how cute haha not to mention the foods you fat cunts stole from other countries too, also we invented football, you had to take that name from us too haha fat bastard. I could go on about how shit america is all day

get ready for the teeth comment

>solid wood and external brick
Interesting concept, first time i hear about it.
Why is it like this and what are the advantages?
What would be the lifetime?

You don't leave it as is, you it insulation and plaster on it.

You don't know enough about wood. There's hardwood and softwood, go from there.

>Is everyone trolling?
Just you.
See what happens when a hurricane hits your doghouses.

Other user is ccorrect.
The old growth forests are gone.
In the 60's we had beautiful walnut gun stocks that would be considered graded wood today. In the 70's those sources disappeared and they started using imported wood and lower quality of locally grown. That's why it went from being advertised as "walnut" to "hardwood" to using synthetics and laminates.

Now we get wood from farms that grow walnut as fast as possible. Which means straight grain. In the past those old growth forests suffered through droughts and had branches twisted in storms. That all added to the character of individual pieces of wood. A graded Remington 870 wood set from the 50's sells for more today than an entire new gun- because the sources of graded walnut is random and inconsistent.
>t. Gun collector that lives in a rural logging town.

>All that glue mixed with woodchips is literally stronger
There are plenty of videos on the internet of load tests on fabricated beams vs solid wood and the solid wood fails first, everytime.
But ya, it's just trolls feeding trolls and making zoomers hate their own society without understanding why their predecessors changed to a superior product. Another IDF campaign to tear down goyim from within.

Environment duh you European fuck.

plenty of never-logged forests out in east texas, granted it's all pine but i've seen many an acre with plenty of big fucking trees mostly untouched by people.

You can complain about why you hate America while we culturally appropriate all the nice things you can't have, all that you want mate.
What have you built since then the prison tower? Wow, impressive. Maybe you can have a clock and fuck around with daylight savings time so clocks don't work twice a year so it's always fucking wrong.

are they holding the blocks together with expanding foam instead of mortar?

It's WOOD you stupid eurocunt.

Not a good response sorry. It took you an hour of tremendous stressful thinking to just come back with that?

See the big problem with you Americans is that you think you have things the rest of the world doesn't, you are all completely delusional because we have all of it too, same fast foods, same media, same merchandise, pretty much all of it.The only things you have that the rest of the world doesn't are in actual fact things that the rest of the world doesn't even want anyway... your Healthcare is a perfect example.

If America had a personality disorder it would be Narcissism. Every Amerifag gets a hard dick and a sopping wet cunt over how awesome their country is, and they will never understand how shit their country truly is because they never manage to open their eyes to what exists outside of it. See, Amerifags have to be right at all costs, their way of spelling English words is the correct way even though it is a language they took to America with them from the UK, the way they weigh things and measure distance, the side of the road they drive on, and so much more, all of it is a desperate attempt to make themselves feel special and like they reinvented themselves. Can't blame them, your entire country was founded on nothing but the ideas of other countries and a population consisting of people from different countries. The "land of the free" isn't even your fucking land to begin with. Americans are truly a fucking cancerous rot that has provided so little in terms of moving mankind forward since landing on the moon.

America is the guy that peaked in highschool and now just gets fatter and fatter as they are stuck in a constant loop of reliving their glory days over and over and over and over again to prove how cool they are to people that are just rolling their eyes at them.

The whole world is laughing at your country and has been for years, we keep telling you all but you're so in denial as a nation even Trump wasn't enough proof to you

It's cheap and they are retarded.

Sure, it is, you fucking kike. It's "wood" – just as that shit on Ikea furniture i.e. sawdust and glue.

>It took you an hour of tremendous stressful thinking to just come back with that?
I'm an alcoholic I woke up hung over at midnight and then spent the rest of the time drinking. I don't particularly get invested in reponses. also tl dr

Idk, my house is brick, faggot.

Ehhh... no?

In South Florida that would be illegal to build a residential structure with only wood. It would literally be declared condemned. A wooden house would collapse quite easily in even a mild hurricane, then all those wooden parts would act as projectiles to nearby better-built properties. Even brick is not allowed. Only material walls can be made of is cinderblocks or poured cement. Roofs can be wood though, but has extremely strict building requirements.
