Re: Building construction...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A lot of the older houses in places I lived were constructed like this...Maui is/was probably very similar



1x4 or 1x6 tongue-and-groove running vertically, with a "belly band" of a 1x4 running horizontally. Plumbing pipes were located outside of the house. No internal drywall. Roof was tarpaper and 3-tab.

Pretty flammable, old dry wood, asphalt shingle roof, crowding. Sad.
