RE: Ask me anything about vehicle dynamics,power train, drive train, steering,Data acquisition
Yeah! Here in Canada we call these homes net neutral homes. They basically don't require any energy inputs. They are more expensive to build... But hey! I figure if you just make the space smaller (with more efficient) space management then load it with all the best in energy creation and conservation technology it's well worth the price tag over the long run.
That's what I plan to build, but the house will have to be bigger one. Like 8-10 rooms (medium size rooms).
But the good size is that I built 6 figure monthly profit online business, so I can finance it.
And my biggest requirement is that the house (in general) has to last for few generations (few renovations are OK), I don't want to waste tons of money on something that will stand for only 50 years and go down.
By the way, while we're still on the subject, do you know anything about
"Ytong"?
It's a new thing here and I really don't know anyone who used it for building. And I really have no idea how long the house made of it would last (how many years until requires renovation or crashing down)
I've never heard of Ytong as a building method. A quick search indicates its all about fabrication and construction using small cement blocks? Looks durable to me... But because I'm used to wood in construction it also looks like a cold industrial method to me.
I don't know either.
They say it is good choice (those who sell it :-) ) because it has a structure like a sponge. But I have my doubts.
Now I'm trying to find someone who has experience with it and see what is behind the ads...
Yeah... It looks like it is something that holds structure but is also easily cut and shaped so that could be useful.
But of course... If you ask the barber if you need a hair cut (even though your bald like me hahaha!) they will always tell you that of course you do! hahaha! :D
