[edit] Taxation

"Home owners were taxed on their ground-floor square footage"

Interesting. One question: where, in particular? I would assume this law wasn't applicable to all countries (and it's conceivable that it was only in particular cities within a country). A source of information on this would be helpful. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Why Not A Duck (talk • contribs) 21:20, 8 March 2007 (UTC).


This was in Colonial America. Trust me, because I don't have time to cite it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.119.19.205 (talk) 01:28, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bamboo and Hardwood (core wood)

Bamboo is can also be used for light frame construction, especially in Brazil many churches and other buildings have been constructed with it. Also, when this bamboo is impregnated, it can last several years before needing replacement (see at bamboost.be-site for pictures of this impregnation)

Also, hardwood, and more specificly the core wood can also be used. Especially with some tree species (that feature insect-repelling plant juices in the core wood, as the Pinus canariensis), the wood can last a very, very long time (e.g. 150 years)

[edit] External links

Does anyone have any objections to my removing some of the external links? This is starting to become a sprawling linkfarm. — iridescent (talk to me!) 15:59, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Further image

I had a mind to include this photograph but am aware article is heavily laden with pictures. It seems like a good quality reasonably high definition image showing clear building features. Will leave regular editors to decide but thought it was worth flagging. Dick G 08:28, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

I don't know who you consider a "regular editor". It is a beautiful photo and would be a nice change from some of the ones in the article that are very similar to each other. Mattisse 00:44, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
Was just trying not to tread on the toes of any editors who might have an attachment to the article! Thanks for the feedback, image now added. Cheers Dick G 01:46, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
The Wormshill article is very nice. Kudos to you! --Mattisse 01:58, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
