Extreme Home?
Checked out the humongous 4500 sqft Extreme Home on Goodhope St. built in the last week.
Isn’t 7 days too fast build a custom home like this:
- Shouldn’t the concrete foundation cure before loading it with the entire house structure and all those hundreds of volunteers scrambling around?
- Aren’t the wood wall framing and blown cellulose insulation supposed to dry out before covering up with sheetrock to avoid mold growth?
- Shouldnt the air conditioning supply and return ducts be sealed during the build to minimize pollutants into the HVAC system?
- Aren’t wood floors supposed to acclimate to the air conditioned environment for 48 hours in which they will be installed to avoid expansion and contraction.
…and where is the matching 4 car garage?

Milton Friedman was wrong…
“There is no such thing as a free lunch”…except at HEB Central Market. Plenty of samples of fresh fruit, yogurt, wine, chips, salsa, breads, bagels, cream cheese, coffee, vitamin supplements, honey, trail mix, mini-pizzas…
