STORM PROOF HOUSING! I've been screaming about our needs to push this form of homebuilding for literally decades! I'm going to build one when I retire but I'm in no way connected to the company. But in hurricane country where I live in Miami FL and in tornado country like the rest of the country but especially in the flatlands, this is the only thing that makes any sense at all. Imagine being 100%: Tornado/Hurricane proof, earthquake proof, fire proof, insect proof, no maintenance (except you at times might have to mow the roof) and it maintains a year round temperature of 72 degrees without any artificial means of temperature control. The best part is that it's not cave-like or dank and damp! It's open, airy and very bright inside. Surf the site then write your congress critter on this unique form of managing the insurance rates.

There are a lot of ways to accomplish this very worthwhile goal. I looked into various concrete home construction methods. “Tilt up” wall construction is fast and ultra strong as well. This is the way “big box” stores go up in a matter of weeks. It also works at the residential level.

Thanks for the ping, interesting.

There have been several in the Kingman area over the past 30 years....they are difficult to resell.

Several of them were built near washes and known flood zones, that I never fully understood, unless it was for the soft earth that would be there.
