>Foundation repair guys makin' bank on it, too.

Im pretty sure they do, in europe we dont even have that term "foundation repair" since even cheap houses, when using concrete slab go at least half a floor deep in ground with it.

Im sorry to say it, but american construction is china level.

>also goddamn look at the mix of masonry work. look at all the remediation done to that structure. it didnt last that's why it needed to be constantly repaired.

LOOK AT THE ARCH on that pic

not one structural repair, 2000 years old and its still livable up to this day.

pic rel might be 200 years old, at least 1m thicc stone walls, its a crackhouse but still structurally perfect and can shine with a bit of repair, unlike dogshit framed out of pinewood
