You do know that the R value of air is better than bricks, right? And repairing sticks and dry wall is a small job for the weekend vs needing to call out a maso

My house is over 90 years old and has had two remodels, with a third being done now. It will easily last 100 more barring some disaster.
Cheaper does not always mean better. I’d be fascinated to see what your house does in an 8.0 earthquake, but for your sake not while you’re inside of it.
- k8sToGo 5y agoMy house does nothing, because I can't afford a house :( I would also prefer a house of sticks than no house ;)
- PeterisP 5y agoMost places have never experienced an 8.0 earthquake and never should - if you live in an earthquake area (like Japan) then sure, that is going to dominate architecture choices, but it's not relevant elsewhere. The largest ever recorded 'shaking' in my city is 4.0 IIRC, which was caused by a far away 6.0 earthquake.
