>There's a historical house in this area made of stone that is like 200 years old that house outlasted every house around it 3 fold.

brits know their masonry, you are surrounded with historical construction that serves as a living witness of the scam of current. Whenever I see peasant houses in croatia built out of stone or wood I think the same.

>So long as the wood is allowed to breath so it can get rid of moisture, and the roof isn't leaking, it will outlast any metals that corrode

there is another issue - finding craftsman that can built it that way using mortise tenon joinery and without screws (that is if you can find properly dried and quality wood which is as rare and expensive as ever), screws on wood are a relativly light form of McConstruction and play a role in wood rotting
