>He is talking about the fact that non-heritage sites, even if they are made of amazing stone and foundations can be torn down by anyone who buys them and people have done so all through history....

most buyers with a brian dont do that, since you cant match the quality or it would be to expensive to build a new stone foundation + many people forgot the skill and stone isnt as cheap anymore

>except to heritage sites that are actively being protected from such people.

even when they werent protected, people who happen to live in them just refurbished them and resused them, there is no upgrade from stone.

>Some people for some reason use a slipform to make an actually thick wall of stone because they evidently can't use a plumb or something. That still looks like shit, but at least it is a bit better structurally.

hey, but its still better than drywall, cement or brick, so an upgrade in most cases and faster than proper masonry. Im not usually for it but a McRebar might help in building a solid slipform wall?

Your point about possible cracks since free spaces within the slipform wall stands.

concrete DOES get wet - that is why quality marines are built out of stone, insted of concrete if you have the money. Same as iron McRebars.

you bongs have fantastic stone and brick masonry tradition. Did some of old buildings had stone foundation insted of brick?
