Great idea. But with modern materials you wouldn’t even need to use wood.
My back fence was replaced the other day with what looks like and feels like some form of plastic. Each plank was heavier than its wooden counterpart and just as rigid. If they can do that for fencing they can do the same for house walls.
Plastic doesn’t rot so it will outlast me even if I live to be a hundred.
They might even be able to use all the disposable plastic that is filling the landfill sites and thus solve two problems at the same time.
It’s all a question of “if there is a will”.
