why not just use actual stones instead of cinder blocks if youre going to go this meme route. rocks are not expensive. just buy big square rocks from a quarry

Also the windows are way too big, and there are no machicolations on the walls.

cinder blocks are lighter and easier to work with and are uniformed in colour and weight.

Nice meme satan

yes. this is logical if you are building a normal home. but that is not a normal home. it is a meme castle. so if you are going to build a meme castle why not just actually use stones
>machicolations
interesting word thank. can you explain to me why this is a thing. from the file name i assume its one of those doomsday prepper things that america has?

watch at 3:13, this destroys a cinder block with just a bayonet

machicolations are openings like pic related, so you can shoot down at people attacking your castle

who cares, what am i going to be attacked in a storm of bayonets like some video game?

It may be built in America, but its always built by Mexicans.

when are you going to need a meme castle made out of hollow bricks

>wood chips sandwiched between a plastic garbage bag and sheets of paper.

Covering your house with a garbage bag (vapour barrier) is code. They know it's garbage.

Houses built in 1926 were built solidly you dope. OSB (wood chips glued with urine and formaldehyde) was not invented yet.

We have a proper castle in my hometown. :D

>Château Laroche, also known as the Loveland Castle, is a museum on the banks of the Little Miami River north of Loveland, Ohio, United States. A folly of a historical European castle, construction began in the 1920s by Boy Scout troop leader, World War I veteran, and medievalist Harry D. Andrews. He built the castle on promotional plots of land that were obtained by paying for one-year subscriptions to The Cincinnati Enquirer. Andrews named his castle after a military hospital in the Chateau La Roche in southwest France where he was stationed during the First World War. Its name means "Rock Castle" in French.

>For over fifty years, Andrews worked on his castle project. He pulled stones from the nearby Little Miami River, and when that supply was exhausted, molded bricks with cement and quart milk cartons.

plywood is better than thin strips of wood with stucco plastered to it. Is this a meme to hate plywood or something?

thats cool. theres a dude in my home village that did the same thing. not as big a caslte though but he build it him self stone by stone

Based and castlepilled.

That's OSB not plywood. Google OSB rot.

>medievalist Harry D. Andrews
Stupid fuck still forgot the machicolations. And there's no moat

Ju suis croyant dû stucco.

tell me more about OSB and plywood. im curious about how westerners build their homes especially americans because the memes about them seem very insane to me

i could google but you seem to be a construction man which is a better source and im watching a dota2 match

OSB is flakes of wood glued together. Plywood is sheets of wood glued together. You can probably guess why one is superior to other.

Plywood is made out of thin and long sheets of wood cut out of a tree using a machine that is basically a giant pencil sharpener. They are glued perpendicularly so there is no weakness in the direction of the wood grains. It's still not very good in wet environments because of the glue.

OSB is just random strands of wood glued together sort of like IKEA furniture boards but the wood chips are bigger. It quickly expands and falls apart when wet similarly to MDF and other chip board. It's used because it's cheaper than plywood.

Why plywood instead of just a regular slab of wood though if you are going to use sheets what benefit does such a bad type of material confer i do not see how its cheaper. you still need the wood ya

lumber scraps

so americans build their home out of scrap wood. and then to protect it from falling apart when it rains wrap their home in a garbage bag. is this correct.

Yes

but the american dream.....

Sheets of plywood are typically 8 feet by 4 feet (2.4 m by 1.2 m). You would need a fat old tree to get sheets like this. Wood in north America is from young trees now (which is itself a bad thing for water resistance). Also because plywood sheets are perpendicular plywood is resistant against impacts compared to wood boards of similar width because wood breaks along its grain.

holy cringe

i see. the size thing makes a lot of sense this is true i didnt think about how huge the wood boards america is made out of are. here concrete is cheap i think so everything is made out of concrete and bricks. excpet in the villages where everything is made out of wood you cut and rocks you find in the hills

It's really a non-issue.

but the two cars and the goose in the pan butter in the fridge and the white picket brick house.

>copper drains
where in norway are you

>enough property in Norway to house all those buildings
What do you do for a living to afford it?

south east. oh it became the finest lot in the town. that grillhouse.. we had old antique skiies on the wall, nice good old 30s style furniture.

Every Norwegian is a millionaire

Oh say can you see...

just wrap it in a garbage bag and glue some fake rocks to it

This is why houses are built during the dry season

That's the spirit!

He built that himself? That's actually pretty cool

you do the same exact thing

>rocks are not expensive

You need to build to building codes or else your house gets condemned and torn down. Armour stone here is $165 per tonne, but the stones are 400kg each so it's not a lot of stone for the price.

Building a house from code obeying rocks would cost you hundreds of thousands.

if im going to build a meme castle why not spend the money though.
thanks im planing to immigrate to american to become a construction man so im learning a lot itt

>from code obeying rocks.

This would be superior to the current methods.

It looks nice but it's not really defensible

That's not even plywood. Its that wood the crafts teacher gives you to practice sawing. Its just compressed sawdust.

no what's your address dude, I want the copper

It's pretty neat inside. It is a museum.

I can see now why MInecraft is a thing

That's not what castles are supposed to look like on the inside
