I have seen galvanized steel rust and deteriorate here due to SO2

Wood remains popular because it's very forgiving, requires no special tools, and is available on a whim.
All the "better" building materials require planning the project in advance, which only works if you have money enough to invest the time.
RE: Slab Homes - Rob Tucker - 09-11-2013
Yeah, that planning part is a real killer.
RE: Slab Homes - kalakoa - 09-11-2013
It's not the planning, it's the extra time.
Not everyone can afford to wait 3 years, or even 3 months.

build a pond on your lot and buy a houseboat. Problem solved!
comin' your way soon!
RE: Slab Homes - Carey - 09-11-2013
Heck, motor it over & shipping problem also solved...
RE: Slab Homes - kalakoa - 09-11-2013
You're both right! It was my fault all along, because I made the mistake of caring.
RE: Slab Homes - sputnut - 09-12-2013
I was actually joking, but the plaster wouldn't even crack in the houseboat, no matter how bigga quake hit.
comin' your way soon!

Uh. You couldn't really motor a houseboat across the pacific could you, Carey?
