>Put a regular nail in them and they will spit in two. They're literally the fragile snowflakes of the constructions materials. Expensive, soft and sensitive.

you could say the same thing about rock since it takes just a few metal pegs to split a 5t rock...
If you werent an overbuilt mcconstruction autists you would know that strong is not the oposite of soft in construction (!!!), but when you actually see the whole picture its far more complex and often the "softer" build is more lasting because it is "soft".

Terracota tiles and smth like slate roof tiles/panels are extremly fragile as well but are absolute God tier in terms of roofing materials, while very "un-fragile" roofing option like aslphalt shingles is utter dogshit.
You probably think that wood is "soft" ergo shortlasting, yet wooden log cabins will outlast any metal framed house, how is that? isnt metal "strong"?

Aerated terra bricks rarely have mold problems because they are very water resistant due to their brittleness (=fragility) and the insulation properties of terra brick and upon that aerated profile + zero toxicity of material + big size means more speed and less need of high skill masons = fantastic option for walls.

>>1538673
>Then again if there is a product that works and breaths I think it's okay to use.

Im OK with that, sometimes you cant afford a stong built from the start and need to tinker it later, Ive search the name Leijon and didnt find much (they are probably only in Finland), can you post more informations and crossections? Im very interested in low toxic methods of insulation.

>>1538673
>Central European timber framing was never a thing in Finland.

Half-timber is more of a North continental Europe and Brit way of doing it, areas like South Germany barely have any, here in Croatia we also barely have half timber with mud insulation builds.

from what I know about Half timber builds, they need less craftsmanship than pure log cabins. I really dig how they look.

>>1538585
>Surely you mean "insulate"?

yes, "isolate" is closer to my language so Im prone to using that, but keep in mind that semantically both are correct (you separete heat from non heat). Ill try using insuation from now on.

>>1538544
>The wind breaker needs to a natural non plastic material like Hunton or Leijona.

Isnt a well built log cabin enough protection for the wind if its well made and doesnt have gaps? Also what material is Hunton and Leijona? This is the first time I hear about non plastic sheating

>>1538551
>Energy efficiency

so much problems in the world wouldnt exists if people simply continued to wear sweaters inside the house. Its literally that simple.

>Also, timber framing takes a lot less skill than log carving.

yes, but why didnt they went by legit timber frame like pic rel (not mcmansion style timber frame), you can isolate such a house with mud and stick or if that is too peasant like, you can use bricks between - which tells us how underdeveloped old styles our today and how much superior we can make them with modern tools etc., we dont have to just invent inferior new technology like plastic wraps and plastic insulation

>>1538534
mold is seriously dangerous stuff, even drinking water from bottles that has a bit of mold on it can lead to brain infections, I glad to hear you wised up and gone full timber.

Tell me, how did wrap home became a thing in Finland, how did they advertised it? was it cheaper?

also Americans, please DO NOT bomb my country or stop the based foreign aid for some cheeky banter, Im an apple pie, big tits V8 muscle car man just like you - I promise, I AM NOT a terrorist!

OH SAY DOES THAT FUNGI INFECTED HOUSE STILL STAND
IN THE LAND OF OSB AND THE HOME OF OF MCTYVEK

AND THE MCMANSION STILL ROTS
ASPHALT SHINGLES BURSTING IN THE AIR

GAVE PROOF TO THE KIKES
THAT WELL BUY ANYTHING THEY SELL

AND THE MORTAGE IS STILL HERE
THAT WE SO GALANTLY SIGNED

BEHIND THE PLASTIC FAUX ROCK STUCCO
THAT WE PROUDLY SHOWED OFF

>Do you understand that your specific build preference is not suitable for all soil types and all climates?

that is the line contractors tell you when they dont want to mess with doing proper foundations but get the money and run - "oh your house is falling apart after 10 years? sorry to hear that, but nothing lasts forever what did you expect?"...meanwhile Venetians built houses out of stone ON MUD by using proper foundations.

e.g. this bullshiter

WHOSE MOLDY WALLS AND TYVEK
NOW ARE ROTTEN ALL LIKE SHIT

>>1537845
>But aren't they getting filled with concrete as in the pics above?

not intentionally, as this anon pointed>>1537915, you should avoid any concrete getting in it since it might crack the brittle brick if it gets there and by it you might get a small crack in the wall, but its a very uncommon problem to have

>If you put this on the clay soil in my area it would be uninhabitable in 20 years, arguably worse than an OSB shack.

why would it be uninhabitable? OSB shack is lowest of the low.

>Also bricks get fucking hot in the summer, it would be impossible to keep that cool.

total bullshit.

>>1537832
>aluminum framed

Metal framed residential builds are not wise, wood or other method framing is superior in most cases

>>1538127
>Prob steel framed with brick sheathing. I hope.
>>1538061
>If Croats can do it then I'm building my future home out of brick, earthquake risks be damned.

RC is very good at earthquakes and I would bet cheaper and safer for workers than high steel methods, but possibly slower? (look up Rakete zagreb, brutalists local dogshit, but can stand the strongest earthqakes) + jet fuel cant melt.

>>1537844
>>Lots of demand! Hey, I gotta gouge you as hard as I can! Not my fault!

well described, dont trust any contractor.

>>1538225
>>1538068
>Yeah they're cheap

Ship container and not even cheap when you count in insulation (that you absolutely must have since steel is a horrible insulator) + roof etc. Bad for electrictiy also AND they rust. Horrible yuppie meme.

>>1538123
>The framing is all plain wood and there's zero insulation, but there's never any heating or cooling problems.

That is the sign of a good build.

>>1536860
>Why not just turn recycled plastic into roofing sheeting?
>It won't rot. Ever.
>It won't rust. Ever.

Sun would melt them. Roofs can get very hot and plastic has bad thermal resistance and a bad isolator.

>>1536875
>They're buying up houses and tearing them down on my street the past decade and rebuilding with OSB-popsickle-stick paper-mache townhouses.

Imagine how much human work goes to waste that way, demolition is dangerous and very expensive, then you have to pay for garbaging it.

>>1536956
>if you kept up with the rest of the world you'd be doing major renovations every 5 years.

that is rediculous, you have to renovate in most cases since quality is crap. Buy cheap buy twice, you know how they said, it shouldnt be acceptable to buy a new roof every 20 years.

>>1536409
>The OSB is just the sheathing. The framing is done with pine 2x boards.

They didnt tell you?

>And it's price tag is plainly retarded.

what is the price tag compared to a basic steel beam ?

>>1532801
>how much does it really cost for an aluminum or steel frame building?

pricey, but doing those any kind of frames is not smart for a house you live in

>>1532173

what are you reffering at?

>>1532458
>>1532349
this was in Croatia under heavy storm, exterior insulations simply comes with risks

oh shit it you! waddup my nigga? are you happy with the bricks I sold to you?

you mean that documentary from that austrian company >>1531321,?

>>1531357
Honestly, Im not even sure do they do that when mounting windows, all I saw was pegs and foam

protip - wood should be cut down when old and acording to Moon changes

Im not sure we use them, do you have a pic?

>Oddly enough sometimes home owners will watch you the entire time like you're going to take something while your boss is literally returning building materials they paid for with out altering the bill.

WOW! How much worth are we talking about? I guess the best bet is either do it with your trusted friends or alone.

>>1531234
>Look at the first run.

it is probably surface moisture, but terra bricks are pretty waterresistant.

>>1531237
>all kinds of certifications and testings

to prove what? that red red blooded american terra brick isnt toxic? mental.

>>1531179
those facades are very expensive to renew, I prefer raw brick on outside honestly
