That is something I don’t understand, but then I’ve never done research. My siblings house in Oz also not exactly concrete... something like... double layer of wood.
can, but you must junk your ccp-encrypted phone.
Back to the topic about food 
Hoe Nam Prawn Noodles 31 Tai Thong Crescent ( 347859 ) also change hands recently
They used to be quite good when I first ate there around 2007

Taken from my furnace room. See the wood frame? And the walls are drywall. Gypsum board
Or wood
And one thing I don’t understand in angmoh cuntry as well... houses mostly not fenced up. Isn’t it too easy for “unlawful entry”???
Or choose the right neighbourhood and stay Low profileCan always arm yourself with a 9mm or M5
Even if fence also no lock!
yes indeed very easy to "unlawful entry". Our windows also glass no grills. Doors no padlock.
So you are right. If someone wants to break in they can easily do it. But is quite safe place lah. At least in Canada. Some people don't even lock their doors. Depends on your neighborhood though.
So we have alarm. Sensors. Monitored. So if someone breaks in. The alarm triggers the company will call me. If cannot get me they call my friend I listed. If cannot then send guard to check. If bad call police.
Same for smoke detector.
We also have Carbon Monoxide detector.

Advantages of wooden houses
Wood does not act as a thermal bridge, but as insulation, therefore keeping the house cool in the summer and warm in the winter, which makes it a much more sustainable construction house. Savings have been calculated to be between 50% and 60% per year in heating and air conditioning.
The walls in Canadian houses include a material that not only insulates from outside noise, but also helps steady the temperature: it can be rock wool, lamb wool, recycled cotton, etc., all of which are ecological materials with 0 oil-derivatives.
The materials used for finishing can be any, from materials made of pressed wood, natural stone, artificial stone, tile, shale, etc., which minimizes construction maintenance.
Among the family of wooden houses, Canadian houses are not pre-manufactured: they last longer than a traditional home and require less maintenance.
Canadian houses are built quickly and are 30% cheaper than traditional concrete and brick homes.
There is no need to have a fence. I have never carried the key to house all these decades. Walk in and out, no worries.
look like ikea furniture. jw will still say it's somewhere in sg.
That explains... makes sensehttps://www.activesustainability.com/construction-and-urban-development/sustainable-construction-wooden-house/#:~:text=Wood does not act as,much more sustainable construction house.&text=Canadian houses are built quickly,traditional concrete and brick homes.

The table I use for my office is from IKEA. So is the side table with the grey sofa bed. And the table behind with the succulent plant.
Windows are also another whole industry on its own.
The windows have to be built to be insulated. Also be tight when closed (for those windows that open eg casements and sliders). There are also double pane and triple pane windows. Two layers or 3 layers of glass with argon gas in between. Actually not so important to have triple or double pane. The coatings are more important. Special coatings can keep heat in and keep sun out etc.
But very expensive. To change all 29 windows in my house will cost around CAD$25k.
It cost more than that sum, when we changed to Pella windows, years ago, and fewer windows.
I heard Magic Windows from Vaughan, Ontario, is better.
that standing lamp also looks like an ikea design. no wonder ikea is doing so well pre-pandamic.
I actually did get a quote.
Cos my master bedroom casement window wasnt opening and closing properly.
We asked around nobody wants to repair. All want to replace. But they will quote $1500 to replace one window and it will look different from all the old windows. So suggest replacing all.
The best deal I got was $19975.
In the end I repaired it myself.
Yes it is! All bought like 5 years ago
