Here I am, a Wisconsin boy married to a woman from Rio de Janeiro,and now have a son. I bought a little piece of land and I want to build a house there. I’m a residential builder here in the north accustomed to wood platform framing. Brasil doesn’t have a milling industry like we have plus they have lots of termites. Hence, I’m considering building with steel studs.So my questions are; has anyone built in Brasil or any other country? Are there reliable companies who ship internationally? Will the badgers make it back to the rose bowl this year? Any information, contacts, web sites or thoughts would be appreciated.
