   There was an hour long program on Story TV about a month ago which   
   started with the start of "wood frame" houses in the USA, the ones that   
   use studs, sometime in the 1800's I think.  Unfortunately i came in late   
   and missed the beginning,   But it was an innovation and had some big   
   advantage that I forget.  Maybe it was cheaper.
