cool! very impressive!
Proverbs 6:6-8

Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.

I live in sweden, and when I looked for it, I went around asking for "ytong" but everybodie kept saying "whats that?". I did some googling and found out that "Ytong" is a company, and they ofcource make ytong but ytong is really "light concreete". So go to a hardware shop and ask for either Ytong or "light concrete"! GL!
