Comment on Foundation advice

  Pretty nice, since concrete is not too good for the environment as far as I’ve heard.

  Building with wood and stone has been good to us for millennia. 👌

    Well…except to meet code for wood foundation you must use treated wood (usually treated with some kind of copper arsenic) which is not great for the environment (both the production and usage).

        Benefitting humans, as a definition.

        Concrete lets people build things by moving semiliquid around that hardens.

        Reinforced concrete can span big gaps enabling skyscrapers basically, parking garages, structures like that.
