THE best way to build a house

demonic jewish geometric slop

Where is the insulation?

Making a home earthquake-resistant has basically nothing to do if it's made of bricks or wood. If you live in an earthquake home you can install a shelter.

The housing market in US is a complete scam.
Ran it through BASED AI and enough bricks to make an average sized home cost about 10K. Cement and sand would cost about 400 dollars.
Do the math however you want and you find out that maybe 5% of the cost of a house is the actual materials. The rest of it is eaten up by bullshit and (((labor)))

I've helped build several buildings and it's easy work. I would estimate it costs about 50K to build a house from scratch.
Building your own house is affordable for most people if they oversee the building and do as much of it themselves as they can.
The only help we needed with my house was hiring someone to connect plumbing to the house.

Wood may just bend, a brick may crack

Aren't you faggots using reinforced concrete foundations in the land down under? My neighbor recently started building a house and he has used so much reinforced concrete for the foundation that the house will probably last 500 years (might have to change the roof beams at some point, but that's it). When I get around to building my house I plan on doing it the same exact way. As long as you don't spare materials the houses tend to last a long, long time.
So far his costs are around 100k euro with a projected final cost of 150k euro. And that's for a huge two story house, probably around 220-250 m2.

filler block

crumbles in decades

coated by brick

weight sinks into the earth

holds cool

and damp, making a great surface for mold and mildew

can be painted

looks like shit no matter how you paint it

pierce resistant

difficult to frame into

freeze thaw on semi-permafrost

what pilings gonna do?

timber has plates that allow movement without separation. brick shatters.

To make buildings withstand earthquakes is all about tactical placement of movement joints.

builder in the US figure materials needed and then double it to cover cost of labor.

freeze thaw on semi-permafrost

what pilings gonna do?

oh no... only the one thing left to do..
nothing? because it's the best foundation against frost heaving there is

thank you engineer pekka

In North America, bricks are mostly used for decoration these days. There are also very few true bricklayers around that know how to use them for structure.

kek

there is no fucking way. this brick shit is expensive as fuck. maybe in russland

I don't know why so many non Americans think that Americans can't do brick houses or don't like them. My grandpa and great grandpa were both masons. The truth is that tons of areas in the US are kind of bad for bricks

west coast/pnw constantly has potential for earthquakes so reinforcing them costs more or else it is much more expensive to build, but some people have them anyway (actually from and live in the pnw, mostly brick houses are the older houses)

midwest has tornados which demolish shit so it is usually better to have a cheaper house with a well built cellar

south has hurricanes all the time

Brick houses make sense in the Northeast or the flyover states that aren't dangerous for earthquakes and aren't in tornado alley, but it's kind of a risk outside of that. Also quality timber used to be cheap and plentiful, though wood now sucks hard for the same price or even more.

more expensive

Falls apart just the same from tornados

That skylight thing would make the whole house hot and difficult to cool during the summer in most of the US.

Forgot to mention that due to general kikery and low quality non white labor on several levels because of those kikes any kind of quality is just hard to get nowadays.

demonic jewish geometric slop

what the fuck is that mean, laddie? geometric means order, order means white. jewish is disorder, modern non simetric shit

Did you have a job otherwise?

AAC is the insulation, pekka
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoclaved_aerated_concrete

What does pekka mean?

If you live in an earthquake home you can install a shelter

That's fine for the people but frankly a quake is going to demolish a house made of brick which is the issue.
Maybe Roman concrete is the answer since we know how to make it now and it is somewhat self healing and is a bit more resistant to quakes than a brick which could shatter more easily.
Not to mention that a quake can sometime happen while you are asleep and unless you are in the shelter when that happens or you aren't a heavy sleeper you are fucked.

There are also very few true bricklayers around that know how to use them for structure.

Because every single "builder" employed by this industry now is a 5-foot-tall, no-skill central american being paid half the labor cost while the contractors pocket the rest. There are no skilled craftsmen anymore.

We are having to rebuild lots of schools and hospitals because that stuff was used willy nilly

its a common name in finland. its like saying "ok, muhammed" to a russian

we in God's country like to build with an eye towards that house addition we add after our wealth increases even more than the time we bought the house

Americans have air defence systems so their homes dont need to double as bomb shelters

Gotcha

I named my duck pekka, Peking "pekka", is not a Peking duck tho

more like pajeet pekka

cinderblock with a venier

actual retard

retard doesn't understand that half the US is too hot for brick housing

How is the building materials of a house political, nigger?

EF-4 tornado > brick house

I assume he's referring to the overall unappealing shape of that house. It looks like a modern artist designed it to be intentionally ugly. Here's a brick house I pass every day that looks 100x better.

brick houses with proper 2.5 layers thick (at least, its almost half a meter to meter, 3 feet for you) can withstand a 120mm shell, let alone a gay tornado. you might lose the roof, but you can make it flat with a concrete slab and give no shit about anything.

huge windows (french windows as we call it here) is tge most retarded thing if you dont live on top of a beautiful mountain somewhere in mild climate. I picked this picture from the internet, the design isnt the best I know, fren.

or sancho tyrone ramirex for an american, or a fucking taras pidoras for a ukranian or whatever shit meat you are

How feasible is it to build a double brick garage by yourself? Getting quoted £40k for insulating and slightly extending an existing garage. For the cost I might as well not work for a year and just do it myself. I've got some experience with putting up fencing and paving so im usually happy enough to get stuck in.

I know.
AAC is good for 1-2 story buildings. for a family house is literally the best.

no they dont, everything left for u*raine. still doesnt work, since russians strike every piece of that like it is nothing.

yeah, simple and great house.
that pic was just the first I've pulled from the internet. its hard to find a good one.

no insulation

enjoy black goo on your walls

Yes, but you forgot to inform us WHAT the American build their houses of?? Their favelas look cozy, which materials do they use for them?

those birds look healthy and happy. Good job.

nooooo you have to live in a cave

you can't have windows, goyim

Have you ever heard of blinds, Rabbi?

Build fast lads, Abdul needs a place to shit after he's collected his universal credit

It means the guy you're replying to is a gay sodomite.

What the fuck? Is this real?

to build a house

How feasible is it to build a double brick garage by yourself?

the only problem is your time. but again, you will save way more even taking half a year off. some people do it after work. me dad built a huge garage by himself doing everything after work.

read the thread, retard

too hot for brick house

wtf man, isn't there no air conditioners in your country? Even in the Amazon Jungle there are

I can see why.

it's not the best way to build a house though

your house is basically american cuckshed with straw replaced by the shittiest stone you could find

Their favelas look cozy, which materials do they use for them?

shit and sticks I reckon

why are you french faggots so obsessed with future and abstract concepts?

build it yourself

4th EU nor the land of the obama are not allowed to build their own houses and are subject to extremely strict regulations

otherwise they would be building foundations out of sand-filled car tireds

The only real house is a wooden one.
That chemical slop in your pic is pure trash.
No soul.

The europoor doesn’t understand wide open spaces. For the most part, they don’t have them and when they do, they still build right on top of each other.

The idea of even 10 acres and a pickup truck flies right over their heads

That'll be 1.5M + tip

its not chemical, retard. essentially its clay and sand. wooden houses are great for a weekend living, not everyday 24/7

American's can't afford to build anything that lasts because their children all move away with White Flight.

It's not even a finnish name, it's the finnish version of Peter. Peter in turn is of greek origin

We just had a tornado in the Midwest that took out plenty of brick houses and a steel framed building. Once any kind of damage like that is sustained it's gone completely. You don't just fix it as you don't know what the full extent of the structural integrity is now. You may one day wake up (or not) with a collapsed house on you.

Good Lord...

Its just euros complaining about americans cause it is illegal to complain about their own country and nigger immigrants.

Truth

Yes I know I'm slightly doxxing myself but I don't live close enough to this house to give a shit
also my hometown is famous for lynching Leo Frank so jews can tongue my anus

My house is made of bricks Vlad. They're just not a good idea in certain parts of the country that either get really hot or are prone to earthquakes.
Why do the building standards of America concern you when your home looks like this?

Even new American homes with any brick or stome is just a facade made an illegal who's never framed a house ever in his life. My house was built in 1976 with slump block, big bad wolf can puff his lungs out.

gets blown up by sand nigger gypsy golem

pretty sure we get better insulation rating with 6" wall than yo do with that 12" wall

properly made brick wall house is basically a bunker. no tornado can take it down.

$384,200

not that horribly bad 2bh.
is that area nigger infested or somfin?

we have any different types of homes here. if you have money you build a house or live in a comfort+ / elite lvl apartments, or build your own house. if you dont have - you live in an old apartment like your picrel. but again, by brother lives in somewhat similar, 1 room apartment but in the center of moscow, in a historical place and it costs like three huge brick houses and a german car on top of that.

That part of Georgia is pretty far out into the suburbs so mostly white.

It’s one of those things where you really need to know what you’re doing. You’ll need a concrete base. You’re also going to need to know how to frame a roof and tile it, in addition to being able to lay bricks to a line. £40k being reasonable or not depends on where you are and what size of building you’re expecting. If you have the space then I’d recommend an oak garage with an upstairs living space. Or a concrete pre fab and have a bricklayer tart it up

More nog'd than I would like

I live in a brick house and you don't need to be wealthy to afford one either. All of the old boomer construction which is like 90% of the houses in my area that aren't a new subdivision are brick houses.
We have brick they're just not the best to build with in certain areas.

Radon

Make a double wall with the grey ones and fill each one of them with sand while you stack them. They have a big hollow inside.You will make your house bullet proof

Last year I bought two, .5 acre lots outside of a ski resort in harbor springs Michigan. I paid 50k each for them. I immediately had a builder put a 3 bedroom A-frame (Menards kits) cabin on each one. By the time it was all said and done, I was into each property for around 230k. They yeah sold for near 500k within a week.

The europoor weeps

The best protection from frost heave is to not let the ground freeze.
Concrete is not that great desu. It is cheap and strong (to a point) but holds moisture like a sponge and very easy to lift (which is why it is below the frost line). You see a lot of morons use cylinder or block style footings which are just welcome mats for heave. You need a bell shape with rebar extending OUT of the bell.
Helical piles hold way better. They don't hold water and they are made of steel.

£40k was literally just extending the existing garage 2m further back, insulating the existing walls and the roof. It seems ridiculous but I don't want to say for sure given I don't really know all involved.

>freeze thaw

foundation is always deeper than the freezing/thawing depth

Where's the foam insulation in the middle?

more expencive

you need to look at what americans pay for their cartoon homes. It costs twice as much to build it from wood there, than it costs in europe to build from air bricks. As for why, idk

AAC is shit

t. lived in a building with AAC blocks without insulation

Bricks are anti-semetic. How will our greatest ally receive free education and health care if us zogbots can't settle with cardboard houses for $500k?

You idiots only started building proper foundations after Katrina

The housing market in US is a complete scam.

Yes. The quality is absolutely appalling.
$500k for a fucking wooden shack? You got to be shitting me.

I would estimate it costs about 50K to build a house from scratch.

it's about 50k for walls, fundaments, roofing and windows (we call it closed raw state), but finishing work easily triples it

healthy

Wtf faggot.
They look as starved as a work camp full of kikes after 3 years of jewish american saturation bombing has cut off all food and medical supplies.

The housing market in US is a complete scam.

it's not scam, rather it's organized around artificially engineered social dynamics
when they're bringing niggers to your neighborhood, so you have to always look for new house in a new expensive suburb then work your ass off till you die, so that your kids would get college educated and be able to replicate your life experience of fleeing and waging yourself to death

no permanent stone foundations are allowed, because that's a circular scheme, like Three-field farming system
one plot of land rests
one plot of land is overrun by niggers
one plot of land is extremely expensive papier-mache with rednecks

the owner of the animal farm lives in the elite city blocks, where wagies can't ever dream to land

Nah, brick only is kinda shit, too much small parts that fail individually.
Cinder block + brick outside like here
But real mud cinderblock not this horseshit

for basic frame house, it's 10k for basic construction and another 10k for the full finish in and out, including the job price

its not chemical

essentially

retard

one painfully average tornado later

how the fuck does placing bricks vertically works?

have you checked lumber prices lately?

50k don't get you the land and the permits to build.

Yikes, is that aerated concrete (durox, ytong)?

The best way would be making a mold and then pooring cement. Retarded brite

I am not an expert, but shouldn't the layers be switched? Bricks inside?

I doubt it's this low, even in Russia. Unless you build from trash
if you build up to code and with proper materials, I would guess it's maybe half of what it costs in Poland, so $25k for raw state and $100k finished state, for a respectable size house (like 200 square meters)

but lasts forever

does europe not get tornadoes or earthquakes?

notice how your house is the same shitty american style frame bearing construction inside with the same mcnugget foundation

Wrong, Lisbon was hit by a huge earthquake that killed everyone when their brick buildings collapsed. Some dude came in after and built earthquake proof wood houses for everyone.

Im taking notes for further use.

It's just funny to make fun of Americans who live in mobile homes or shit like that.
But truth be told, American construction has lowered in quality in the last two decades.

As for why, idk

wildfires keep raping our lumber supply, for one. they also manufacture scarcity by "disrupting production" aka seasonal employment and a constant revolving door of workers and refusing to hire more US workers, so they can then both price gouge and claim labor shortages for government gibs and immigration propaganda. US industry at large is extremely kiked and full of cronyism and government grift.

lasts forever

gay meme
i lived in an old.brick building and it fucking sucked
hot and stuffy
nonsense layout
difficult to retrofit

my stick house is much comfier and cozier and suited to life in current year and when it starts to suck its no huge loss to raze it to the ground and build a new one

cored brick

lmfao cheap
Also I prefer Adobe myself

that building can survive a 3 tonne bomb

America will claim it's impossible because tornadoes when 3% of US real estate is above negligible danger of ever meeting one.
The entire northeast quarter of the US where 1/2 of the population lives should have no issue building like this and they did build with bricks (perhaps cast iron in urban areas) up to 1960 or something.

code and materials evolve and now new buildings are required to have proper air flow, insulation and things
the shit that was build few decades ago is not even comparable to new. You can heat new home for an year on a ton of coal while old buildigns required 4 tons

That’s far too much. Even if you’re within the M25 that’s a huge cost for not a lot of work. To give you a rough idea, a 26 foot by 16 foot (external) garage with concrete sheet roof, drainage, doors and a base cost me £8500 last year - installed. The quality is decent. It is a prefab but even if I went brick built I doubt it would run much more than £20k all in

That is tough in US capitalism. Essentially in the housing labor market, it is filled with illegals and convicts. They will be looking for everyway possible to screw you over to make more of a profit, because that's what succeeds in US capitalism.
Also because of capitalism, you will not get a good price on materials due to essentially class warfare designed to control the means of production.
You won't have a good time, if you're not already in the industry

concrete commie block on stilts

As someone thats done vertical concrete work, I have 2 things to inform you of.

1) those stilts are a forceful fart away from complete structural failure. No amount of bar nor depth of footing is keeping them structurally sound against even the GENTLEST of compromise.

2) the cost of your pet project there would be easily ten to fifteen times the cost of the land it's sitting on.

Plus, that's New Orleans. Flooding and hurricane winds. 100ish mph. Thats 2/3s the wind force of an average tornado. A little under a third the force of an actual strong one. For funniest, do a little reading/watching on the 2024 Greenfield tornado and understand that that one was the upper end of average, merely made famous by the footage of it and the damage track it took.

Dumb ruski.

heating with coal

you're not different from jeets

Are you proving my point on purpose?

is that why you import so many of them?

Comfy.

2-3 storey houses should just be sturdy and have additional 30% of strength and additional angle-beams, to withstand most of the strongest earthquakes with modern construction materials and techniques

tornados and hurricanes is even less of a problem, the trouble would be that it can still rip out your doors and windows, so best option would be to have chalet-style house with most part of it on the outside being the heavy roof, that would deflect most of the wind

You have to be white to understand

Am I? New buildings aren't stuffy, nor hot and are cheap to maintain.
And that can be said for anything built after year 2000. At least in Poland.
stuff built previous to this are expensive to retrofit, but that was over a quarter century ago

Brick just kind of sucks, stick houses are faster, cheaper, more efficient thermally due to higher insulation values, versatile, modular, while still being resilient to age if taken care of.

It’s because the profit possible is much higher when you use whatever material is cheap. We had an abundance of brick and stone here but not as much wood so everything got made out of brick and stone. In the US people knock down houses constantly because they have loads of space. A builder is not going to work with brick or stone because he can make more money faster building out of wood and board, and the buyers expect wood and board and won’t punt for brick and stone because there’s no real benefit

I literally live in the most northern shithole going. I feel like all quoted costs are blatant fraud but builders seem to have zero issue with finding work that pays whatever they want.

It's gotten to the point that I think i might as well have a crack myself.

No amount of bar nor depth of footing is keeping them structurally sound against even the GENTLEST of compromise.

they're strong enough to bear a bridge, nigger
you can compromise them all day long your whole life
