Houses
House construction: basic rules
On the first image, a house is shown on which the rain is falling. The rain safely runs off the roof forming puddles next to the house. Inside, there is a Triangle-person sitting happy, sipping coffee. A checkmark is displayed next to the house.
On the second image, a similar house is shown, except now it has holes in the roof (the line is dashed). The water is raining in, and the water level is rising already reaching to the Triangle-person’s waist. They are unhappy and their coffee is getting wet. A cross is shown next to the house.
On the final image, the house has holes in the roof and in the floor. The water is raining in, but it’s running off the Triangle-person into the holes in the floor, forming puddles outside of the house. The Triangle-person is happily putting a cocktail umbrella in their coffee. A checkmark is displayed next to the house.
New Zealand can be a very wet country, and when it rains, it pours. It also has a lot of old wooden houses which tend to have a lot of holes. The two seem to be in dynamic balance.
