So what do carpenters build?

Last week during our language tutoring session, we were learning the names of occupations. We were supposed to give clues in Hungarian to one another about an occupation we thought of. Nancy said the person she was thinking of builds houses and other things out of wood, and her dad was one of these. Mike of course said "carpenter." Rita, our instructor, looked puzzled. We explained to her that in America, most houses are made of wood, not bricks like here in Hungary! Here are a couple of pictures of a house being built just down the street from us. Of course, they are using bricks!
