Good for you :-)! Here, they build wooden houses and then add a layer of bricks on the outside :-). It just seems so unreasonable to use lumber(or is it timber?) for construction, especially here in the South, when it burns so easily (I didn't see so many fires in my entire pre-american life) and needs constant protection against termites. And it rots and gets covered with mold if a house gets flooded. I don't like wooden houses. It is practically the only thing that I actively dislike here in the US (love the rest :-)). Anyway, thanks for satisfying my curiosity, Geoff :-).
