Timber-frame construction is rare here. I've encountered a few. But the majority of houses I'm working in have concrete block walls, concrete floors and heave concrete roof tiles. Many have concrete slab first-floors as well. even the cheapests 'we are tight cunt developers' budget homes have concrete insulated cavity walls. All Timber construction is fantastically rare - it's actually more expensive to build in timber for a lot of people.

I love the smell of rotaries in the morning. You know one time, I got to work early, before the rush hour. I walked through the empty carpark, I didn't see one bloody Prius or Golf. And that smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole carpark, smelled like.... ....speed.
One day they're going to ban them.
