And you look at the photo carefully.
Torn off the ground pillars of the fence, torn pieces of roofing .. What is it like not a hurricane?

Maybe it's best not to build a lot of modern wooden houses in Russia. The forests would disappear, if such houses became popular. What I see is mostly brick houses being built. I hope Russians build better with brick than with wood.
Just like we are running out of sand as cement is used to build houses, right?

Drunk amateur workers.
Drunken amateur workers built twin houses? Stupidity.
This is a very cheap apartment, someone decided to save a lot.

In general, the houses are poor, there is almost no such technology, and frame houses for normal housing are not considered.
In principle, 90% of this stone construction. Aerated concrete, warm ceramics, slag concrete. Facing is either textured plaster. Or clinker facing brick, rarely vinyl siding.
From a tree it is fashionable to build baths, from logs and country summer houses.
Prefabricated houses, mostly suburban houses of a lower price segment.null

If you buy crap, you'll get crap.


And no surprise that even house building works in Russia. What would?

I don't know what this house is made of Ariete, but it doesn't look suitable for Russian climate ( not to mention that I have some kind of aversion to the whole setting; I expect some kind of advertisement with it, accompanied with plastic smiles)))
This is more like it for Russia I think -

It's a coookie-cutter Finnish home built of wooden pre-fabricated elements. And just as plastic as those Maksim posted. But apparently in Russia you can't manage this either.


How many tanks broke down on your "victory" day parade this year? Was Germany, Italy, Finland, Hungary and Romania invited? Lol, like we would've came.

What does that overpriced Ikea kit cost you? Right arm left leg and both balls? I've seen some pretty crude looking piles of Russian logs but they'll be standing for far longer than that one will. For damn sure.

If you dig deep enough you'll find references to Russian T-34 battalions doing 3 to 4 hundred km forced road marches with a failure rate of about 16% in WWII. Germans were likely to have 30% failure rates on marches half that distance routinely. German engineering wasn't all that good when the tread hit the dirt. I have no doubt that Russians know how to build a tank and the history shows it. Their modern tanks are apparently quite capable also. One break down of a totally new tank is not something to be laughed at. It's to be admired because there was so few. Unless of course you only read the memoirs of the Nazi generals.

I don't know. Depends on the location I guess. And listen buddy, we have very strict housing rules and a lot of building experience.
