I'm on a cement slab. Good luck getting termites to eat that.

Wouldn’t they just eat your wall studs instead?

Yeah your floor might be fine but goodbye walls.

Shoutout to brick walls. Hopefully our ceilings can handle the falling roof tiles, though

Brick walls still have lumber for studs and joists.

Earthquakes happen all around the world, yet no one builds wooden houses for centuries.

My house is less than a hundred years old and is made from old growth redwood.

[–] Aux@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Muricans, lol. Once again - no one civilised builds houses from wood, that's just ridiculous.
