As 1 should refrain from including 'fine dining when discussing tv eateries we should also add 'quality building methods /materials.

Vinyl sided homes are 2x4 wood stick construction on 16" centers. Stucco homes are cinder block outer walks with interior walls 2x4 wood stick construction.

Both will have a small number of steel 2x4 or 2x6 studs. Roof trusses are wood and fabricated off site at a factory and trucked in.( n plants off siteormally byuit in offsite places its a specialty

Craft construction? Not really. A reasonable job done to meet building code. Yes, sometimes there are mistakes made and not corrected. Neighbor's 1-year inspection revealed cracked trusses in the attic insufficiently dried lumber (?)


9/0.
