Fucking muricans, this is not a wall. This is a bullshit room parting tool.

No seriously, how can you call this a wall?
How are you americans so retarded to build a house like this? Ever wonderd why a tornado/hurricane fucks you so called houses?

seriously, i am getting angry about so much stupidity - check out that pic: your wood sehds aer fucked up but the solid rocks are still standing.

dumb mericans

Tornadoes easily destroy brick houses. They easily destroy steel buildings too.

how did he need so many tools to do this? why cut the studs out when there's just like one or two nails holding them in? ladder? wtf.

did he really not know that drywall doesnt need to be torn apart like that? its just held on with mastic and drywall tacs?

OP should never do any more home improvement until he learns what he's doing.
also LOL he tore the wall open with power still connected and that one stud left there with a power cable attached to it while sawing right next to it.

Bullshit, fuck off.

If you make a proper brick house, cast an actual foundation (as opposed to setting the house on pegs, as American'ts do) and allow mortar to harden properly, brick houses and especially concrete houses are nearly impervious to weather effects.

Of course, debris poses a problem, but not he devastation of having a McMansion face a cat 4.

Probably fun, even though you'd have made the job easier for yourself by taking out larger chunks of drywall instead of decreasing it to rubble.

You clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

I pour concrete in tornado ally.

Tornado proof structures exist, they're almost all owned by the military. It has to be able to stand up to missile strike, which brick buildings cannot, nor can a cinder block building.

We regularly pour safe rooms in new construction homes. Ones that meet ICC-500 standards.

i used the ratchet straps in the previous pic to hold the 2 by 12 header and lift it into position under the top plate you can see between the jacks. did all this solo, i dont work well with others.

Hey, good job! Definitely more Koselig/Gezellig/Cozy/Comfy.

Is that a double wide trailer? Something about the curved ceiling.
