Some time ago, intrigued by all this wood construction in the US, I asked
Geoff the same question and he said the answer was yes: their houses are
brick or stone. Wooden houses are only here, I guess :-).



------------------------------------
Brick houses in the US are brick, but some houses have brick-face, which is
basically the same as stucco. Sometimes it's literally a red stucco over a
white stucco and the red is scrapped away to make a brick look, sometimes
the bricks are bricks but only about 1 inch thick, but mostly that was used
int he 70's and 80's and greatly fell out of style because it doesn't last
and looks terrible when it goes. Most new houses in the US are wood-framed,
aluminum sided with stucco, stone or brick fronts. But the stone and brick
face are greatly out of style and most are real again now.
