Anyone heard from Rolando? I believe he lives in Houston.

Seems strange in a hurricane prone area like Florida. From what I gather, it may be because of labor costs.

I suppose stone houses wouldn't fare much better in a flood, though. And the cost of fixing a flooded stone house might be higher than building a new wooden house.

Incredibly cheap and quick to build. Wood, unlike stone, quite literally grows on trees. Ghavrel - 02/09/2017 10:57:23 PM 570 Views
