Wtf even multiple story buildings in the US are made of sticks, cardboard and glue. Please explain this shit.

Fire trap

>>2922611 (OP)
Please explain what went wrong in your childhood that lead you to being an adult whose only social outlet is shitposting on an obscure image board.

They're building a 3 story apartment complex like this in a town nearby. Supposed to be low income housing. I personally cannot wait for it to be filled to the brim with homeless people and the hilarity that will ensue when the death trap catches on fire from someone cooking meth. Not to mention it is inbetween two highways and right next to a bar so I guarantee someone will come stumbling out drunk or high and get smeared all over the road someday.

>>2922650
The only people I see in low income housing are immigrant families or black people. Drug using homeless don't like living places where they can't openly use and they're not very good at keeping up with the social workers. It's really just not the best place for them. They like the streets, mate. It's pure freedom and adventure for them.

>>2922657
This one is supposed to be only for a single occupant per unit so that rules out any families. Not sure if it is supposed to be some sort of transitional housing, or what their end goal really is.

>>2922650
Literally insane they build shit like this.

>>2922611 (OP)
We had one of these 5 over 1s burn to the ground during construction in my area a few years back. All future buildings in the area had the sprinkler systems installed and operational once the framing was done. These buildings heavily rely on working sprinkler systems, without them they wouldn't have been approved to be built.

What’s up with that pile of helmets?
>burger flag
What is it with Americans putting their flag everywhere? Even when there’s obviously nothing to be proud of. Mexicans and a stick hut. Yeah, that’s what I’d be proud of.
That said:
You can build multi story houses out of wood, no problem, especially considering fire. However, you gotta do it properly and not the American shit-way.

>>2922779
>What’s up with that pile of helmets
Deported/hiding mexicans that are not showing up to work. You can see just a couple guys labouring at the top.

>>2922611 (OP)
You can build high with sticks and mud. People use what's available.

>>2922611 (OP)
meanwhile it's all the yuropoor buildings that burn down or collapse in earthquakes

Yuros are afraid of lumber because they used all their forests for firewood.

>>2922917
I live in Leafland
We have lots of lumber and this retarded shit is still illegal

>>2922611 (OP)

Greed.

>>2922927
>this retarded shit is still illegal
yes goyim you need to pay your carbon tax and buy heavily taxed imported building materials from elsewhere, ideally china

>>2922611 (OP)
advances in woodworking have made this possible.

if it holds, it holds.

>>2922917
They used to use sticks too.

Disposable homes for disposable cattle, amerika in a nutshell.

Tree strong
tree like carbon
carbon fiber
diamond fiber.
U the dumb

>>2922613
white bone dust, no burn. mix with water, turn crystal, protect tree.

>>2922779
I'll take a shit in my front yard and plant a 50ft flag pole next to it because it's still more impressive than anything your country ever produced lmao.

Americans really malding and seething itt

>>2922611 (OP)
It's all about cost cutting so shareholders and executives get bigger bonuses.

>>2922611 (OP)
I've seen larger ones in Canada. Honestly you would be surprised at the shit we built from wood up here.

>>2923263
Where? Most building codes here limit stick framed buildings to 3 storeys

>>2923267
They changed the code a few years ago. You can build up to 12 stories with 'encapsulated mass timber' framing. They built this pile of shit in Vancouver.

>>2923048
Yeah I love those old buildings for their aesthetics but 1. they used 4x4" (or thicker) oak beams and 2. the ones that are still standing are generally 1 or 2 stories tall with ~2m ceilings.

>>2923288
>Made of woodshit
>Still has reinforced concrete core for safety
Kwab, wood peddlers on the mud.

>>2923294
>concrete core
That's just the lift column, the Peoples Socialist Republic of Canuckistan will soon have all new high quality all wood elevators, rest assured comrade!

>>2922811
Don't forget "hurricanes" (winds above 80mph)

>>2922804
thats mud plaster

is there a chicken wire construction method for buildings

>>2923642
yes, it's called ferro-cement.

>>2922611 (OP)
And plastic water pipes.

We've got wood plus steel now at keith drive

>>2922611 (OP)

idk if retarded or bait

look up LVL beams/engineered beams. look at headers. u retards have no idea how strong a 4x4 or 7x7 wood beam actually is

ppl saying shit about wood not being good or capable are retarded. it is literally surrounded by fucking drywall(gypsum)+fiberglass to prevent it from catching fire as quickly or at all. electric putty pads exist as well. not that retards dont find a way to cause fires anyway. btw those materials are called "non combustible"

get shitty jew builders trying to mass produce a house out of shit materials as low quality as possible to save money that give 0 fucks about craftsmanship and sure you can get problems but concrete/steel construction still can get fucked. that shit isnt immune to water so bad work for waterproofing still fucks it up. any kind of steel that is weather resistant is super fucking expensive (galvanized+powdercoating) and no one will build a fucking house out of it

>>2925923
One of the goyest posts I've ever seen here.

>>2925733
I'll allow it

>>2925952
You just don't know what the fuck you're talking about if you think he's wrong. Stick to changing lightbulbs or whatever other extremely difficult every day task brought you to this board

>>2926461
>t. Sticks and spit peddler

>>2925923
I'm all for building from wood, and with thick ass LVL or other mass timbers. Or wood sandwiched with steel. But in OP video it looks like 2x4, and no LVL in sight.

>>2922611 (OP)
Genuinely how is this even cheaper? This frame looks like it has a bazillion beams, that all need to be fastened at a dozen bazillion joints. The amount of effort needed to connect it all up, square every single joint, etc. looks inordinate.
It's not like normal houses are made out of manually laid individual bricks anymore, either. You use at worst cinderblocks, and more likely concrete panels, and just build huge sections at a time.

>>2922811
>burn down
That tower is still standing tall. The only thing that burnt was the cladding, which yes was a contractor cheaping the fuck out and using some kind of mystery meat flammable toxic garbage and endlessly putting off repairs even after getting flagged for unsafety. You can turn the sturdiest ancient stone castle flammable just by shoving in a bunch of flammable plastic fibers for some reason against code.

what is it with this trend of euros acting like they've never seen wood construction before? is it because they've all spent their lives in urban dystopian concrete commie blocks?

>>2929111
It's only anglos, they don't know what wood is and it terrifies them.
They only trust the almighty brick.

This is how things were in Europe before two world wars killed all the men and only left queers and women around to shape society.

>>2923020
It would be ok-ish if building this cheap was your choice but for some reason you build wast majority of houses this way and price them in milions of dollars. On top of getting assfucked by developers you're defending banks fucking your face at same time with 30 year morgage for that shit.
Hope your whole housing market colapses soon, burgeranon.

t. Yuro living in fired brick house

>>2922657
Yup, I see the same types around here. It's why my broke ass is happy to move to a nowhere village with 300ish people. 99.5% white there.

>>2933480
You forgot the noses.

>>2927896
It's not done because the materials are cheaper. It's done because it's faster to build, much easier to run utilities, maximizes usable floorspace, easier to insulate, and holds up better against earthquakes and some kinds of weather. Some of those make it cheaper to build, some are because it's simply a better method for the conditions and use case.

>>2934697
Except for standing up better to earthquakes, everything else you listed just makes it cheaper to build. Well, and the floorspace, but that seems pretty minimal.

>>2934697
> easier to insulate,
Doubt.
If it where that easy to insulate, it probably would be done, but as it stands, burger dens are drafty, uninsulated and only able to be heated because energy is essentially free in the land of the (((free))).

>>2934790
I don't know what garbage houses you've been, maybe that's true of cheap tract houses in Arizona or something, but any modern build in my area is insanely well-insulated, my last place was built around 2010 and the heat only needed to run maybe 10% of the time to keep it toasty when it was single digits outside, and even my current 1990 build isn't much worse.

>>2935370
I can verify that an old house is going to take way more power to heat due to the garbage insulation. The one I'm in right now (built like 1900 or so) has such poor insulation that there can be a 15 degree difference from the center to the edge. I'm super poor, so it's where I get to live. Better than living in a van or camper. Moving soon, so maybe it won't cost so much to heat and cool.

>>2935404
Yeah, I grew up in a '30s lath and plaster house and it was miserable even in the Southern California climate, basically no insulation and the HVAC system was very badly designed and implemented so running heat/AC enough to make some rooms pleasant would boil/freeze others and the main thermostat was in a retarded location, bottom of an open foyer thing in the middle of the house with no registers anywhere nearby so you just had to treat it like a manual on/off switch.

>>2922611 (OP)
Its cheap. Only the government, hospitals, and universities can really afford steel beam structures.

Why do you think 4chan is obscure? Other image boards are obscure, no?
