Do you live in a tree?

  Queensland. Wooden Houses on stumps, because tropics. Most people use under their house as a combo workspace, dumping ground, and in our case, washing-hanging-space. You wind up boarding it up and turning it into "inside" space a lot of the time which is why "legal height under" is a thing in real estate ads here. The rise of AC made it less necessary to be ventilated under the floors. Also its about termites: modern build uses a concrete slab, less risk.

    Very interesting! Here (east coast US) houses are on stilts to protect from the ocean, but that’s about it that I’ve seen. Disappointed you don’t live in a tree house!
