Hi there readers!

This post is to show how most of the houses in Brazil are built.

Unlike happens in the USA, where they use wood or steel frame, insulation and plywood, here we build our homes using bricks and cement.

I took the picture below this morning, it´s a building that´s happening right next to my house. I´ll update this post after they finish it, as a layer of cement will cover the bricks prior to painting the wall.

As you can imagine, this kind of building doesn’t provide much thermal insulation. Air conditioning/heating systems aren´t present on most homes, which means that we really feel outdoors climate even inside of our homes.

How does the houses are built where your live?

UPDATE 01

As I promised earlier on this post, a picture showing some more of the wall while it´s getting the cement layer.
