When I was a kid I was really confused by Jerry. How could he make a home inside a wall like that? The walls are completely solid, with bricks and mortar.
I had to move to Canada to understand that the walls are hollow and the house is made from wood, plaster, plastic and styrofoam.wrote on last edited by [email protected]I was so confused too as a Brit since our houses are made of brick and mortar. I still find it weird that houses in NA are made out of wood and plasterboard/drywall

Insulation is way better than solid rock walls or whatever Europe uses.
You can insulate brick walls, too, you know?

A new breed of supercats figured out how to condense themselves enough so that they could fit in those holes. It was a sad day for mice everywhere.

Hey thanks I added you to the Facebook News Group, my posts will now show up at the top of your grandpa's feed because we mapped out your family with basic cookie/search history records (in a totally anonymous fashion, trust us it is math) and now your grandpa will start to slowly descend into angry conspiracy theories with custom tailored content designed on Family Manipulation Algorithms (FMAs for short).
Keep up the good work!
I am chaos, see my clown makeup strewn across The Big Angry Dorito Of Hate, hear my warning (your grandpa can't lol), IF YOU DO NOT DIP ME IN THE COOL RANCH OF JUSTICE WE SHALL PERISH
Depressingly acurate.

I wouldn’t consider using more technologically advanced and appropriate materials to be a “problem” I live on a fault line in wildfire country, I have zero interest in living in a stone or concrete house that will fall down and kill everyone, I want a quake rated home, which must be wood, and as far as wildfire, gypsum dryway is fire resistant and part of our fire code.
No one uses styrofoam but high tech high efficiency foam insulation does exist and works far better than stone, brick or concrete while also maintaining breathability
I want a quake rated home, which must be wood.
This isn't true in Japan.

Wall voids are extremely common in older brick buildings. In the case of my house and many others there's an intentional void that is also used as a massive ac duct.
The 100 years old brick buildings don't have any voids. That only started post-WWII when ventilation became a real concern.
But even then those houses are likely to have wooden floors and more modern drywall remodeling in some areas. My house is hurricane-proof but not rat-proof.

Where did all your pipes and wiring go? What insulates the building?
Pipes are installed before the mortar (I think that’s the name), sometimes carving bricks. Wires pass inside flexible tubes (literally translated to conductors). This has the advantage that, if the tube is wide enough, we can pass more wires.
-
Where did all your pipes and wiring go? What insulates the building?
The pipes go into the wall, older houses have them running outside the wall, right next to it, especially for stuff like radiator pipes. Wiring goes into the wall and gets plaster put over it. Saw a false ceiling in bathrooms too, since that had a lot of little lights so they probably ran it that way to keep it simpler. A lot of buildings just aren't insulated, especially older ones, walls do an okayish job already. But newer buildings have styrofoam on the outside of the building. Makes em pretty much have the exact same temp year round, unless you open a window.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]My house is brick, built in 1925 and has wall voids, you're simply wrong.
It does have wood floors with 10" wide rough cut planking and has not been remodeled, that's why I bought it.
Just as reference there are ancient Greek buildings with cavity walls, this argument is dumb.

You don't need any of that nonsense. Real men insulate themselves with their feelings. As for electricity, I make that myself. They don't call me the love dynamo for no reason.

When wood is cheaper then rocks you make things out of wood.
Then you get in the habit of using wood.
Then it doesn't matter what happens, you keep using wood cause fuck changing shit.

I guess Greek house building was several decades ahead of Belgian house building then, because I've yet to see a pre-war house with cavity walls. I guess the cheap coal heating and lack of a need for cooling must have something to do with it.

Regional variations exist and in some places or fell out of habit completely, just not in the US and honestly most of the Americas.

This. I live in a concrete building with insulation on the outside. In my area it does get moderately cold (down to -5 or -10°C). In the four years I have lived here, I used the heaters I think on 3 days total.
