The Cyburbia Forums is the oldest and most active English language urban planning message board on the Internet, and one of the small number of online communities where members enjoy intelligent, troll-free discussion. Cyburbia has hundreds of active members, yet is a strong community full of creative, friendly, and occasionally offbeat planners, planning students, architects, urbanists and other like-minded people who care about and/or help shape the built environment. Cyburbia Forums members enjoy a sense of community and camaraderie that is unmatched by any planning-related web site or listserv. We'd love to have you join us as another Cyburbian.

Sorry about that, I would have said the same thing about it if it happened to be University of Michigan.

I hear ya... why do they build houses out of wood anyway? I hate wood... I just moved into a block house and am so much happier... no noise, better energy bills, and feel a lot safer...

Hmmm Not that texas is all that seismic, but the rigidity of a block house can be dangerous, in an earthquake and also with a very strong hurricane, but wood is more flexible and can absorb the shock and withstand better.

Now it is quite stupid to put plywood inside instead of outside, I bet you could have done a ground support for the plywood and also save the glass windows.
