American Home Construction Start To Finish | How American Homes Are Built | American Wooden Homes

Simple House made from shit.

For people who want to improve their English, I will add some vocabulary for you.

3:46 – All of this wood is called the ‘framing’.

8:13 – The window that you see above the garage is called a ‘gable vent’. Gable vents are used so the attic has proper ventilation. However, in newer homes there are more advanced methods to ventilate the attic, so sometimes these windows might be sealed and are only there for decoration.

8:21 – we simply called this outside material of the home the ‘siding’. There are different materials for siding, but using the word “siding” is safe because it will includes the different kinds of siding “vinyl, stucco, hardie board, etc.)

8:40 – This different kind of wood that is connected with the framing is called ‘OSB’(oriented strand board). This is simply small pieces of wood glued together in different directions and then pressed into a solid board.

12:12 – Now you can see that the walls are put up. These walls are made from something called ‘drywall’. They are sometimes also called ‘gypsum wallboard’. This drywall is made with crushed rocks and glue that are poured in-between two pieces of thick paper and then it is dried and cut into pieces (usually 4 feet wide by 8 feet tall pieces). These walls are very inexpensive to make but are very efficient, but because they are made with dried rocks and paper, you can break them very easily!

14:15 – This counter in the middle of the kitchen is called the “island”. Sometimes the kitchen island has the sink, but usually not.

16:37 – This type of flooring is either laminate sheeting or vinyl sheeting. You cannot usually see the difference between laminate or vinyl sheeting. These are used because they are quicker to install and less expensive. They also make laminate and vinyl tiles or floor boards. This is called sheeting because it comes in big rolls of sheets and you unroll the sheets (like a big toilet paper roll) and then cut the amount you want.

24:25 – These red cans for putting trash are called ‘dumpsters’.

24:29 – These little restroom huts are called ‘Porta Pottys’. ‘Porta’ comes from the word ‘portable’ and the word ‘potty’ is a verb in English used to mean ‘to go to the bathroom’. Usually this verb is only used with little children or animals. We would say something like “do you need to potty? Okay I will take you to the bathroom”.

24:58 – There are a lot of different machines that are used for construction, but you can call almost all machines like this ‘tractors’. A tractor is used mostly to move big and heavy things for you. People that have farms also use tractors.

25:09. These small stones on the right side of the screen are called ‘gravel’. Gravel is used for many things during construction.

I hope this helps!

Estimated cost it takes to compete.

American homes are built in many different ways with many different materials. This is too generalized..
