Grew up with large dogs, can't imagine living without one. Love them.

Yeah i know, i visited the new england are last summer and i think i could punch through most walls and doors, it all felt so flimsy.Jay wrote:
It depends on the area but you have to remember that wood is very cheap here. It's also much faster to put up a wooden framed house than it is to build one from brick or stone.Kampframmer wrote:
What i dont like about about american (suburbian) houses though is how theyre built. Just a wooden frame with some panels on em. If a tornado would hit my house, i think only the windows would break and the garden would be a mess, but that would be about it
That said, I want to design or purchase a stone home one day (they're a ton more expensive).
But all houses here are made of stone, so relatively speaking our houses arent that much more expensive, and keep in mind that here all buildings need to have a very deep foundation (which takes up half the build time in a lot of cases) else they'll sink.

Huskies are great, I'd say the malamute is a good choice as they're the best looking ones (imo) and I think the calmest. But... so tiny!
When I was 5 we had a leonberger that was 110 kg's // 240 lbs, I could ride on his back (it's a large breed but even for that this one was extroardinarily huge, standing on his hind legs he was 6'6 tall), and they've got a wonderful character. Best family dog there is I think.

If you were to build a house like you would in the netherlands but in the US, i dont think it would be that much more expensive here. But of course land is a lot cheaper in the US (depending on location), a small piece of land costs a fortune in this country

Risk on Pogo anyone?
The irony of guns, is that they can save lives.

It would cost a lot more simply because of the building materials. Unless you're just talking poured concrete (which is ugly), getting the stones from the quarry and into your foundation would be exceedingly expensive here. America has no shortage of forests so lumber is very cheap in comparison. The only real benefits I see for stone are looks and insulation (and most of heating/cooling loss comes via windows anyway).Kampframmer wrote:

I don't really like dogs with little/no hair though. Does save in cleaning costs . Dogs like the ones we had (and huskies as well) shed so much throughout a year. Bad idea to have a carpet anywhere if you've got a hairy dog.

Houses here are made of bricks and some (like mine) have a layer of concrete (i think on the inside) and the foundation are huge poles made of concrete or steel (no idea)Jay wrote:

Guess it also has to do with the type of ground you build on. The Netherlands was one big swamp so houses here need a strong foundation. Lots of concrete and stuff.Jay wrote:

I like your porches though.
Yup. Steel poles smashed into the ground (makes a deafening noise by the way, couple years ago they finished building a large district in my old hometown, when it was in progress you could hear it every day almost everywhere in the town)Kampframmer wrote:

Large wire meshes for the concrete as well.
