I have no idea what any of that meant

Balloon framing is great until fire gets into that cavity. Then it's not so great.

Isn't this better?

#WeBuildItBetter. Right here in America. 30 years and counting. Your source for residential/commercial storage solutions.

He’s saying what we do today is infinitely better

told me nothing.

Current homes are trash.

The actual framing we do is a lot better, but the wood quality is way worse because it’s not old growth lumber. Without proper moisture protection, it rots way faster. And given that there’s a lot of shit installers out there, that creates tons of issues down the road.

Which method would be better to use is the question

For more fun ....

And the balloon frame was why the US used to lose cities to fires. As soon as the flames take hold, the system becomes dozens of chimneys helping the fire spread.
