1/2 billion dollar LA "mansion"

And most people in Europe can’t afford their own private home

Dont americans do that because of earthquakes or cyclones or some shit.

I noticed it too when I was there. But theres a good reason why they use ply wood. I cant remember why.

In California, brick and mortar has issue because all of the cities are built on the San Andreas fault line.

Lousiana and LA.
Both use plywood. One for Cyclones, one for earthquakes.
It doesnt snow at either place therefore no insulation is required. Cheaper to replace plywood every 10 years.

Now I Memba.

Its cheap as fuck and goes up quick saving on labor, thats literally the only reason. Modern houses are garbage.

houses of this size more than likely have steel beam elements. The exterior will also be covered with stone. but basically all mansions are wood frame structures.

Who builds a city based on a computer game anyway?.

>And most people in Europe can’t afford their own private home

house ownership is high in all non-western europe countries, but that aside, capital you need to put out for those houses in terms of work and material isnt even that much higher compared to an OSB craphouse.

>wood homes

stop insulting wood. That is a GLUEhouse, not a WOOD house.

>Dont americans do that because of earthquakes or cyclones or some shit.

they tell you that and its total bs to hide the fact their construction is corrupt af and runned by goodol republican types named Chip Lee who together with ((())) get majro money.

if you want quake proof or tornado proof go RC beam like we and Florida does.

It requires far more labour, its only quicked compared to concrete builds.

>brick and mortar

that is reinforced concrete which is best method against quakes.

No, lad. LA was Lebensraum tier until the post-war era. The police used to irl kill and torture pornographers, jews and shitalians in organized crime even after. It wasn't a blue state until the 80's or 90's. Ever since then it has become a kind of never-ending David Lynch movie that spans most of the West Coast. The badguys and bugmen won.

Rich people dont want old houses
If you have land in an expensive area people will demo old mansions in good condition to just build some new home

What exactly would you make it out of? Most places on earth are relatively calm in terms of climate and disasters. Even for some events such as earthquakes you would want wood framing anyway because it has a little give instead of crumbling like bricks

Only environment where you wouldn’t want wood would be if you got a lot of rain and high winds like Florida. And guess what structures are often built with in Florida nigger? Concrete blocks

It's probably in a great neighbourhood, some schmuck will always buy it. No need for brick and mortar.
If you had a billion dollars for a house you'd treat it like a disposable object too and move on to the next one after 5-10 years.

Why do Europeans have this utterly retarded conception of how migration works in this country? No, the "bosses" aren't Appalachian hillbillies who shipped out West to fuck over the coloreds. The people you're referring to are boomer contractors trying to fuck over skilled white tradesmen, like the politicians and everyone else. Most of our masons used to carry on traditions they learned from the old country, their fathers taught them how to work with stone and brick, they learned from their fathers, etc. Now rich people want to build McMansion out of plywood and maybe put in a brick facade of some sort, if they don't want the place to look as cheap. Like most issues related to land real estate and the way things are built here, this is an incredibly compex and multi-layered issue, on top what happened to the mentality of this place. But we used to build god tier structures for housing, transit, even public forums in some instances. The fact that things like pic related are no longer allowed to exist is why I unironically believe there is no more "American culture".

Frame-building is economical, the issue is that the banks and real estate market is gamed and over speculated because no one want to take a loss on investment properties (fucking lousy bubble markets)

A modern american home is pretty much a poured footed foundation, load bearing walls with 16 inch studs for the outside, resin impregnated chip board for the external cladding with a moisture barrier tyvec covering, vinyl siding or brick facade, gypsum plaster board with polyurethane or fiberglass/rockwool insulation. It's all the same shit really, and the only difference depends on locality, our houses here in Arizona use more stucco and wire mesh to reduce cracking from thermal expansion. the roofing is terracotta.

I personally would want a timber-framed house because the ingenious joinery, and the use of locally sourced materials. There's so much to consider into building a house, like expansive clay, erosion, humidity, and nature's trials.

Tornado not cyclone

>The people you're referring to are boomer contractors trying to fuck over skilled white tradesmen, like the politicians and everyone else.

that is what I was reffeing to, dont blame hard working mexicans that try to get some work. Its mostly your own weasels who sell you toxic materials as insulations and hire pretty high skilled mexican masons.

>It doesnt snow at either place therefore no insulation
Louisiana here. Southern Louisiana in fact. It snows every now and then. Last Winter it snowed a good 4 times. Insulation is needed in modern homes because of air conditioning and keeping the heat out. and cold in. We build so much shit out of wood because we have an abundance of wood, so it's cheap. Cypress isn't cheap though, and it's awesome because it super rot resistant. My house is 50 years old and still has the original cypress siding.

>Concrete fractures under the SLIGHTEST movement

look at who your constractors and builders are, almost exclusivly WASP types do those OSB shitshacks, wop mafia do high steel in east coast, but OSBcraphouses are done by WASP builders mostly.

There are historical buildings in the old portions of our city, but new developments are sadly the frame style. The stucco exterior is pigmented concrete. So when the wall is tacked on, wrapped, and then instead of siding or brick, they put wire meshed grids which the stucco is thrown on.

This yugoslavian dumbfuck keeps posting this same thread about how he knows nothing about construction or engineering. Wood houses are superior to concrete or brick houses and yes that includes the frame+plywood/osb construction used in North America and Scandinavia. These house have incredible strength, great insulation, can be easily modified, breathable (European houses have terrible indoor air quality, talking first world countries, would hate to see the average dump they call houses in yugoslavia), have far more flexible floorplans, ect, ect.

5th year architecture student here

Its about the intricacy of the construction as well as using skilled labor to construct the project. Also building groundworks are extremely expensive, anything that involves being below ground level or requires excavation is 3-4x more expensive than whatever it would cost to be above gound. Cost would also be associated with the major engineering and consultancy required for such a project. Probably km's of wiring and hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of electronics to run house. Then we can start on the luxury materials that clad the inside and outside of the building. Probably using materials from every continent on Earth. Custom furnishings and hardware + rare/luxury materials. It all adds up very quickly. They're probably also factoring in the cost of the artwork inside the house too, which could easily inflate the price.

Nice! Croatbro faggot back again. Missed your construction autism!

>not using plywood on a roof
how else would you do it? Put plywood on the beams, put tarpaper down, put shingles. Am I missing something?

OSB is more than good enough for the majority of houses, in the places where it is not due to extreme weather you step up to plywood. A house properly constructed and cladding that uses OSB will easily last over a hundred years. Houses in 80s started moving to OSB and the vast majority of them have no problems and that was when the cladding materials were far less advanced.

>Stupid Insulation
? The fuck you talking about, the average North American and Scandinavian house have far better insulation than the average yuropean houses. Concrete and brick are poor insulators, also they do not breath so houses become moldy and stuffy.

>roof
What is wrong with the roofing? Asphalt shingles last over three decades and do not cost much not replace and have significantly better thermal performance compared to roof tiles.

Being a massive faggot myself, I like construction men more than I care to admit.

I'm curious what's your take on concrete houses, with re-enforcement steel (rebar)? You've got strong opinion on wood-glue-fungus-food OSB but modern concrete?

In Iceland we have this legacy tradition of building concrete houses rather than wood houses because we had no trees in the past but had access to concrete materials. So we have shit load of 1950s towards 1990s concrete houses that have rebar (5x5 cm towards 2x2 cm spacing) but no cladding (just paint), it's hell to refurbish them though.

That's fine but you can't stand closer than 5 feet to the wall.

Brick won't survive higher end tornadoes. Pretty much only concrete will survive and f5 depending on what objects are being thrown around.

I know you've mentioned that stone is one of the more reliant methods for construction, but can I add stucco on the outside of it?

You should honestly have a YT channel dedicated to construction theories and materials that are the strongest to make a house last longer. Have you ever thought about that?

No you clothhead you use corrugated iron, coated against weathering.

>moisture > walls >moisture in walls > OSB dissolves

lol is this your knowledge level? OSB does not dissolve on contact with water, it is rated for so much water per unit area per unit time. A properly cladded house will control for this and will maintain the vapor at levels where the OSB will last indefinitely.

>*toxic fumes from OSB get in lungs
OSB and plywood sheets are offgased after manufacturing, the scant amount of fumes given off by these materials after this process is far far less harmful that the significant amounts of mould inhaled by living in a concrete house and far far less harmful than the off gases given off by varnishes used on the wood for that cabin.

Corrugated steel, or zinc aluminum composite*

Yeah obviously I don't mean literally iron.

Attached: 1541987116066.gif (280x280, 799K)

It's better to have a bigger house though. And alot of people build their own homes, which is great because you can design it to your liking instead of living in some stone relic from the 1800s

Pure corrugated zinc would be pretty sweet though. Not sure what would happen if it rains though. Does zinc explode on contact with water?

Brick homes like that are really great. I grew up in a house like that.

Nothing would happen. Needs to be like 250C to oxidize.

Due to extensive research done by the University of Pittsburgh, zinc has been confirmed as the hardest metal known to man. The research is as follows:
Pocket-protected scientists built a wall made of iron and crashed a zinc car into it at 400 miles per hour, and the car was unharmed. They then built a wall out of water and crashed a car made of zinc moving at 400 miles an hour into the wall, and the wall came out fine. They then crashed a zinc car made of 400 miles per hour into a wall, and there were no survivors. They crashed 400 miles per hour into a water travelling at zinc car. Western New York was powerless for hours. They rammed a wall made of zinc into 400 miles an hour made of water, and the resulting explosion shifted earths orbit 400 million miles away from the sun, saving the earth from a meteor the size of a small Washington suburb that was hurtling towards mid-western Prussia at 400 billion miles an hour. They shot a water made of zinc at a car moving at 400 walls per hour, and as a result caused over 10000 wayward planes to lose track of their bearings, and make a fatal crash with over 10000 buildings in downtown New York. They spun 400 miles at zinc into iron per wall. The results were inconclusive. Finally, they placed 400 water per hour in front of a car made of zinc travelling at miles per iron, and the result proved with out a doubt that zinc were the hardest metal of all time, if not just the hardest metal known to man.
