      And stretched our like that I’d imagine limited options for kitty retaliation 😅

      I always like to help my cat learn the error of his ways whenever possible.

        They’re such drama queens. “Oh no, I’m getting a free massage! Horrible! How dare you!” lifts paw menacingly

    After owning multiple cats I’m now 99% sure that the „hang on“ cat from that motivational poster is having the time of their lives.

    Was it hiding after being accused of standing on that shortcrust pastry?

    Why do so many basements have ceiling tiles? It always looks strange to me in a residential environment

      American homes…cheap AF. They only put bricks on the side facing the street.

        American homes…cheap AF.

        One reason for this, believe it or not, is slavery. One very under-appreciated aspect of cotton plantations is that cotton (in the days before artificial fertilizers) very quickly exhausted the soil of the American South, leaving behind land that was mostly only suitable for growing pine trees. This left pine wood as a cheap and plentiful resource for building houses. Southern US pine is now so plentiful that it’s even the source of most of the chopsticks in China.

        Bricks cannot be put at ground level. They will deteriorate.

        if it it’s only on the front are they even using full bricks or just brick face?

          I think on a residential exterior I’ve usually seen full bricks, but they’re only a facade nowadays, not structural, so it’s only one deep and then normal wood framing and plywood behind the brick. I have seen at least once on a house show where they just made lines in stucco and painted it to look like brick, and brick face tiles on the interior.
