Thumbs up just wondering

if you new about kit houses... and how they cost
between 1/4 and 1/2 less than a conventional house...

then with the cost of home heating always increasing
look at nigeria in the last 2 days wanting to stop exportation
of oil to america and venezula threatoning the same...

my point is...you would do well to look at the prefab panels
that are two layers of plywood with foam sandwiched
in between which has a much better insulation factor
than the common stick framing with insulation stuffed
between the 2x4's or 2 x 6's... by almost double!

they are called SIP's which stands for
structural insulated panels

you can do the research but they have many benefits
over the typical construction methods... quieter home,
better insulation and quicker installation ...strength
to name a few. here's a picture link Uncle Matt
