Is it wood, bricks or concrete?

  3. Drywall. Unless you mean outside. Our house has an OSB wall covered. Yea moisture barrier which is the. Covered with lightweight concrete siding that looks like wood.

  4. The interior of the house is drywall, the frame is wood, the veneer is brick.

  5. Its not clear if you are talking about exterior or interio walls.

    ​

    Interior walls, the overwhelming majority of the country has painted drywall screwed onto a wood frame. For exterior walls there is much more variance. I have stucco walls which is the most common in the South West.

  6. Exterior wall is brick. Interior walls are drywall, structure is big wooden beams

  8. ticky-tacky .. it’s a “double-wide mobile home” from the ’70s

    (actually exterior-grade plywood outside over lightweight studs, with sheetrock inside)

  9. My exterior walls are stucco, then railroad ties, then drywall in parts of the house, and beautiful 100 year old beadboard in others.

    The railroad ties are the weird part, I think.

  12. My interior walls are drywall and plaster, depending on location. The exterior is brick.

  15. Interior it is drywall over a wooden frame, my floor under the wood is actually concrete, for the exterior, it is either brick or siding over wood.

  16. Wood frame with drywall on the inside and stucco on the outside. Brick or other masonry buildings are not permitted in my area unless they are reinforced with something like rebar in concrete.

  17. 2×6 framing. Vinyl Siding over the original cedar siding. Interior walls vary between drywall and wood paneling.

    Also metal roofing and crawlspace foundation.

  18. Wood frame with aluminum siding on the outside and sheet rock on the inside. And insulation between the inside and outside.

  19. Inside? It’s drywall.

    Outside? It’s brick, and vinyl.

    Interior substrate? Concrete, pine wood scaffolding, steel scaffolding

  20. Exterior is stucco. The interior is either wood and drywall or Rastra depending on the part of the house. The backyard wall/fence is made of adobe and finished with stucco.

  21. Drywall. Framing is wood, exterior is wooden siding. I saw you mention termites, but those are not really a concern where I live because of the climate.

  22. Depends on the specific walls. Exterior walls are brick, most interior ones are sheetrock reinforced with wood. The sheet rock holds no weight, the wooden braces hold the structure up. Some walls have insulation in them as well.

  23. It depends on where you live and the type of environment. Here in Texas you see brick and stucco but the interior is dry wall everywhere

  27. Most houses near me are concrete cinder blocks for the exterior. Sometimes skimmed too look smooth, sometimes there’s stucco. Interior walls are double layered drywall with a wire mesh in between the layers.

    I don’t think there are very many houses in Florida that are completely made out of bricks. A brick exterior facade, or a brick fireplace maybe, but not structurally constructed of just brick

  28. I live in Florida. The house is primarily built of wood. Sheetrock inside. It was built in the 80’s. I have seen more hurricanes than I care to count. House is undamaged through all of it. My mother lives in a house that was built in the 1870’s. Same thing, primarily wood. As far as I know, survived every hurricane with no significant damage.

  29. Plaster and lathe interior walls, specially milled wood siding with cedar shakes. We have a century home in a historic district.
