When 2 x 4s were actually 2 x 4….
This house was built in that manner. One difference, my Dad was there every day to check on the work and to make sure no corners were cut. The fam wouldn’t wait until Sunday afternoon. We there often throughout the week. We weren’t allowed inside very often as we could accidentally damage the work in progress, but our visits weren’t limited to just once in a while.
It’s a firetrap.
Doing jobs previous governments before Trump told us in no uncertain terms that “Americans refused to do!”
Back when things were built right and to last, not like the shoddy 3rd world construction by 3rd world workers we’re getting now.

That sound used to put me right to sleep, for school videos 🤣
The Empire State Building was built in 1 year, 45 days. My Great-Grandfather helped to build it.
