/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>Dionizian: People who work with their hands dont think.
>Apolonian: People who think never worked with their hands.

what I tried ranting about is the loss of craftsmanship, people who worked with their hands used to be considered gentlemen and were respected, only few tradies today are worthy of respect.

>How did the turmoil over ther in the 90’s change construction?

It didnt, but my point was that reinforced concrete houses can not only survive a tornado but also tank shells. Pic rel a famous water tower that was heavily bombed in the 90s and they werent able to take it down with a TANK, now its being repaiered, so yeah, go RC beams.

>which means you might as well build out of CMU, brick, or solid concrete anyways.

NO NO NO
If you did concrete all the way house would be too cold.
RC beams are there for loading, red brick is for isolation and light loading. HVAC is a meme to fix badly built houses. Its the same principle as with Tudor houses but with different materials.
