Beautiful flowers. I have never heard of cardboard and frame construction, so I will need to look it up. I am always a little depressed by seeing houses town down. It seems like a loss of history but also a consumption of resources to build the next one. That said, I am pretty tired of fixing plumbing problems and rotted wood around my old house!

In the good old days where I grew up houses were made of brick. Then they went to frame houses - framed with steel or wood and filled with single brick walls. Nowadays they fill the frames with cheaper materials - used to be asbestos sheeting as it is well insulated - now it looks and feels like cardboard.
Plumbing is another story with lead giving way to copper to plastic.
