House Building
Another new home is being constructed, this time just off of 6th Ave. in Stayton. The workers on the roof in the photo are brave souls... makes me dizzy just to look at them up there.
My favorite part of the photo? The colorful trees behind the house, of course. Gotta love autumn.

is it made of cork material?
our building sites are slowing down for winter.
You might want to look at today's blog on Austin Texas. Construction comments on there, too. This house looks like it's going to be great!!
Hey, good to see another Oregon blogger.
This house looks huge and yes those guys are very brave.
Kris, no, that's not cork. The walls of the house haven't been finished yet, so what you're seeing is the press board stuff they use before the insulation goes on.
Kate, I'll be sure to do that. Thanks.
Faye, hi there! Your blogs are great... you take some very nice photos. Thanks for comment.
Celine..with my poor English I still dont understand what is the house made of..could you tell more about houses like this? I never seen this type here.
zsolt72, the house isn't finished yet, so what you see in the photo is just some boards put up before insulation, wiring, etc. When it's finished it will look very different. Right now, it's just in the basic stages.
I'll get a photo of it when it's completed, so you can see the difference.
Probably too late to post this but I think zsolt is wanting a more detailed understand of exactly what this is. It is called a Waferboard, which are wood chips (pieces of wood) glued to together. It is very heavy but not as strong as solid wood (obviously). Very typical in the U.S. these days but not in the past. Houses are being made much more cheaply (as are most things unfortunately).
