The 'Glajcha' tradition involves placing a small tree on the roof of a new house to celebrate the completion of the shell. Czechs often build houses 'svépomocí' (by themselves) with help from family and friends to save money. A 'kolaudační párty' is a mandatory social event when you move into a new house. There is a strong preference for brick (zděný) houses over wooden ones in the Czech Republic.
