No 3/4 view or perspective. Too much of a PITA for a hand drawer like me. I've done it. But only when I absolutely have to.

I will get pics. Right now they are working their way around the building with the forms. They are currently about 3' off the ground.

The foam is about 2.5" thick on the inside and the outside with a 6" hollow space in between for the concrete. So the walls are quite thick. 11" to be exact. The exterior will be finished in stucco, except for the main entrance in the front that will have a limestone facade.

Durabilty from windstorm would be number one closely followed by no termite problems, sound inuslation, and of course energy efficiency. Down side is cost. It'll increase the price of a home about 12% overall. That's quite a bit.

12% is definately a huge cost! Especially when a house is in the 150k+ range

perspectives are rediculous. Did one in my mechanical drawing class...it was a simple figure, and I'll never do another one by hand.

Me too. They are obsolete in a week, freaking junk. ( I know literally nothing about them, but I always seem to get screwed. )

That is true, I bought this last week for less that a hundred bucks...

Obviously he was, but for some reason the mainstream media still mentions that fact every time they run a story about him (which is about every 5 minutes, and it is always a positive fluff piece about how great (and historical) he is.)

If it wasn't banned by the FCC he would have, and so would the rest of the media. I keep waiting for someone to wash his feet with their hair on a live broadcast.

I Never watch network tv except for Hell's Kitchen (and AI ) I actually refuse to watch them because of their worship of our Emperor and everything "green" (especially NBC) I love the History Channel and I hated history in school. I also like Diners,Drive-ins, and Dives on the Food network. I also like Antiques Roadshow on PBS.

If I ever go FI, I will go with Saleen based solely on looks. Not a big fan of the appearance of those kits. I think the Saleen SC looks awesome.

I too prefer the Saleen. But I would have also considered Whipple.

And while I know about Paxton and Vortech, I just don't know about a Procharger. I know the name but it does nothing for me.

I have always wanted a Whipple/KB simply for the low end boost, but having a 100+ mile commute to work I have been thinking that the centri may be a better option offering better highway dirveability and fuel economy as it is not into the boost as much unless you have your foot into it.

Big bonus with the Procharger for me it that it uses an air to air inter-cooler so no coolant lines have to be touched & it is self lubricated, so no oil lines have to be touched either. Nor does the install require ripping apart any of the engine, though I would prolly install charge motion delete plates.

Separate tweeters and woofers with an external crossover. Little more expensive than coaxials, but definitely worth it!

I was procrastinating, and now I'm stuck running down to the DQ.
