    Breaking indoor walls so damn easily, thought it was a Hollywood thing like exploding cars, endless mags etc. Took me a while to get that such thin walls are just common in the US

      They make them out of literal cardboard now because drywall is too expensive. I wish I was joking. Look up cyfy on YouTube, he’s a home inspector in Arizona and some of the million dollar+ homes he inspects are actual temu quality shitholes from big name builders.

        I was astonished to see that they sometimes do stucco walls in Arizona by just putting the wire mesh directly onto the wood framing and applying the stucco. It doesn’t even have cheap OSB behind it. Stucco is shitty enough even when it’s done “properly”.

          Yeah and they don’t even fully cover the wire mesh most of the time so it rusts and your entire stucco wall falls off a few years later (out of warranty lol get fucked)
