Ok… and?
And I took a picture of it.
I like the picture. I like how the wood pops against the clouds. And the green of the tree. It is perfect for a sub(Lemmy) dedicated to pics, which I believe to be short for pictures, but don't quote me on that.
We call them "communities" here, subs is reddit.
This looks like the US. For someone from outside the US, this might be very interesting, because it's very different than what you might see in other countries, especially in Europe, where everything is brick and mortar inside and out.
Hmm, must be different from region to region within Europe. Wood is a popular building material in Finland, at least.
Yes, there are areas of Europe where wood is the main building material, like in Finland and Norway, because wood is so abundant. Same in northern Sweden. In southern Sweden, it's mostly brick and mortar.
Yep. When I built my house, at this stage there were concrete foundations, a 20cm concrete floor, 37cm thick brick walls and another 18cm of concrete for the first floor... floor. Buildings in the US always look so flimsy.
Because they are. Cheap flimsy cardboard buildings
