Ha!

How is a redneck divorce like a tornado? Somebody’s losing a trailer. :)

I wonder what a concrete block house would cost compared to this one.

“I wonder what a concrete block house would cost compared to this one?”

In El Salvador, where they are planning on building these, probably less. It is a function of the labor cost. In fact I would think in a lot of places around the world, you could pour a 650 square foot slab, put up cider block walls, windows, doors, plumbing & roof for less.

The problem in many other countries is you can not get a mortgage to pay for a house over 15-30 years. There is no Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac to back up the banks and credit unions. That is why when you go to the Caribbean islands you see houses that are in the process of being built for ten+ years.
