I think generally the key with buildings is maintenance, no matter what you build it out of you'll need to replace and repair the element-facing areas of it as they wear out. A leaky roof will gently caress your walls whatever you make them out of. Even if you build yourself a concrete bunker if you don't maintain it you will have a really dank-rear end concrete bunker. Similarly even if you build it out of something else, as long as you maintain it it should last a long time, but you can't guarantee that maintenance after you're dead or after you move out, or after you get old. Life gets in the way, finances and priorities change. OwlFancier fucked around with this message at 17:16 on Apr 11, 2017 |

Concrete will stay up, but that doesn't mean you'd necessarily want to live in it if it starts sloughing off lumps and growing mold or some poo poo. All buildings need weatherproofing or they end up looking, smelling, and feeling like poo poo. Your roof again is going to be significant, most walls work fine as long as you either face them in something, paint them, and make sure the roof covers them properly. A concrete wall with a leaky roof is going to be horrible just as a brick or wood one. It might not actually collapse but you wouldn't want to live in the building cos it's still going to get damp. If you're going to be maintaining it, you can use something other than reinforced concrete. OwlFancier fucked around with this message at 19:39 on Apr 13, 2017 |
