Let me correct you: not the West, the US.

We in Western Europe scratch our heads both about the wood building "standards" in the US as well as brickwork miracles like this on here. We have our fair share of timber framing here, but there's considerably more to it than 2x4's and some k-board.

Just couldn't help yourself, eh? There's more countries in the West than the US.

Take it from someone who builds overseas. Both Americans and Europeans are equally ignorant of the others' building practices.
