Replacing Wood and Concrete Block Walls With Advanced Construction Composite


And they are trying to get into the New Orleans rebuilding business. Unfortunately, they don't have builder partners up this way yet. Not that i have any land waiting for a house to go up on. New England ain't cheap, especially on a single income.

I like insulated panels, and i've also learned about precast concrete foundations. its all cool to me. i don't know if its in the wallet real soon though.

it seems to me, all the energy efficiency you build into a home, you still make the same monthly payment. it's either to the bank for you bigger mortgage, or to the utility companies for your leaky house. so, i'm trying to sort it all out in my brain, which is already full. i deal so much in hypotheticals. my son has the same affliction. he is 8 years old and is trying to learn as much about trucks as he can so he'll know which one to buy in 10 years. that's how i feel.
