Instead of thinking in hyperbole, think in CS terms:
"Solid" houses are "immutable", and "paper" houses are "mutable".
I recently redid some plumbing in my "paper" house. It was real easy: shut off the water, cut some dry wall, make the fix, put some drywall back in, plaster, and paint.
How would this work in a solid house? Do I need to jackhammer through stone and then mix concrete to seal it back up when I'm done?

- laurencerowe 7y agoPipes tend to be exposed in brick houses so you don’t need to tear the wall down when you have a leak.
