How fucking stupid are the leaves?

Why don't you build proper houses with real material?
Just KYS retards, day of the rake when?

Material science has progressed a lot, this isn't 1980 any more - wood is a viable building material.

Yeah, thats why an entire city burned to the ground and there was nothing they could do about it.
Don't people in your country use those brittle orange bricks?
>lives in a house made of shipping pallets
>calls bricks "brittle"
There are all kinds of bricks and materials here, we are not limited to apple boxes for walls.
Bricks ARE brittle. They have very low flexibility which is why you use tons of them with a cement binder instead of a single long slab of brick.
You don't know anything about material science
Here on peru we live in caves. Lel
Because bricks totally stop fir-
So you can punch a hole in a brick wall but not on a recycled wood wall?
I wonder what the only thing that got on fire in that video is made of...
OP's house in Uruguay.
>Canada is even worse without its leaf
Wood is easily the most cost effective building material. Drying processes have increased their life span dramatically. Also, it's exceedingly rare to build a house entirely of brick. It's incredibly unstable as the mortar used often has a shorter life than wood. Almost any house you see that is made of brick is actually a stick built home with a brick veneer 1 wythe thick anchored to the sheething material. Unless you live in a pole barn where the sheething is metal, or a storage unit typically made of cinder block, you live in a stick built home. The interior walls are made of wood even in the 1900 homes made entirely of brick. Wooden stringers with gypsum wall covering. Your floors are wood more often than not. Both subfloor and joists, and your roof is framed with wood as well, even in taracotta or tpo liner applications. The only exception is a brick dome which is insanely costly due to the skill involved. Slate roofing is also attached to a wooden trusses or conventionally framed joists. You cannot escape wood, the house will burn regardless. Also even the heat from a fire inside a brick home as everything is made of wood within the walls, exposes the mortar which isn't heat resistant to enough heat to make the home unsafe. Fire brick used for fire places is a specialty brick. Red brick is not heat resistant and cracks and weakens with heat. A fire destroys any home. The only thing capable of withstanding a fire is a steel framed and sheethed building, typically used as a work shop or storage building. And even then any welds will need to be revisited and reinforced.
We're not all neets here
Mud houses havent exactly caught on in America
Proxy canacuck house.
>So you can punch a hole in a brick wall but not on a recycled wood wall?
That's not what brittle means, dumbass
And good luck punching through construction grade wood. You can't even use a nailgun on that shit, your limpwrist faggot fist won't even make a dent.
Learn what brittle means, then compare with strong/hard. A diamond is both strong and hard but brittle. I am sure you can punch through a diamond with your logic.
Almost every stand-alone residence that has been constructed in modern times is wood-frame construction with drywall.
Combining basic safety practices with fire detection devices and fire-retardants renders them pretty safe.
Learn to detect irony when responding to retarded false equivalency's, retard.
>renders them pretty safe.
Until they are on fire and everything is consumed in less than 1 hour.
But it is keynesian economics, if the houses burn down, the GDP goes up. Just like if you fight your enemies. they win.
LOL, that's it? Proxy canada? Oh, wait, you live in a one of the poorest countries in the world, of course you're dumb.
So, what makes brick better? After a fire such as what Canada experienced, that burnt everything to the ground, brick houses would be gutted. Yes, the bricks and blocks would still be standing, but they couldn't be used as is. Everything would have to be torn down and start new anyways.
A brick home would crumble under similar circumstances. Red brick is not fire proof.
The interior of a house will burn as fast regardless of what the outside is made of.
But you'd know that, if you'd been educated in the first world.
That makes sense.
There is no need to get this upset.
What do they not have wood in Uruguay? You think wood is unique to Canada? There are plenty of things to razz the leafs about, but it's not like they are the only ones building wood houses.
>implying that brick houses don't burn down
They all do as soon as the roof catches fire.
What? You mean brick and grout crack under high heat? That's UNPOSSIBLE!
>mexican bricklayer
kek
Because im bored and was reading that article about a massive fire in Canada and thought it would be fun to troll leaves.
As you've seen, it has been a complete success.
Not soon enough brother
>As you've seen, it has been a complete success.
LOL JK GUYS GUISE, I WAS ONLY PRETENDING TO BE RETARDED
You guys all forget that it gets to -40 degrees Fahrenheit in Canada. We use the building materials we do because they are extremely good insulators.
That being said it also gets really fucking hot on the prairies and can easily have 100 degree+ days
Also, fire is fire. You wouldn't find very much of a deviation in the time it takes to engulf and destroy a home no matter where you lived if you didn't take environmental factors into account.
>Until they are on fire and everything is consumed in less than 1 hour.
If you have a serious fire, your brick home will still most likely be a total loss, since the fire will have rendered it unstable.
The radiant heat during a serious fire would also result in a loss to all of the contents inside, unless you have installed fire-doors and some kind of fireproofing in the ceiling of every room.
...
Yo, leaf, knock it off with the big words. Urugay doesn't understand. Single syllables.
>Lifelong resident
>there are mud people who have been allowed to live there for 3 generations
If you are this upset now, i can't imagine how upset you will be when Chelsea Clinton enacts the American Union Act in 2020.
The city burned because we sacrificed it to make a fire fortress around the oil sands
>ITT: People who know nothing about skilled trades/construction
Catch a bullet.
Notice op won't respond to all the logical well thought out statements, all or most first world homes are made of wood for good reason, he would know this if he didn't live in a third world shithole whose people fucking beg and plead and break the law to live in our homes
Nice pivot if you're going to troll up your game and do it from a position of strength, it doesn't work with a flag from a shit country trolling people in the first world about living conditions
Neck yourself.
>im not upset
>REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
wtf does tpo have to do with wood structures, You can put SBS, BUR,EPDM, TPO, PVC, anything on a wood ,steel, concrete deck.
