Hi all,

We bought this house when it was 18 months old. At the time no one over here was building concrete houses. That has changed in the last 8 to 10 years. A friend of mine had one built one 5 years ago. It is a very solid house.

That is very interesting news!

Bruce are those new houses much more expensive that "classic" wooden and plaster ones?

Also, are those new houses made like in Europe (i.e. concrete floors and concrete frame plus brick in outside and inside walls)?

Leo "Apollo11"

Not necessarily. My friend's house is stucco as the outer layer. On the inside is sheet rock.

The core of the house is a high density styrofoam "sandwich" with the meat being 12 or 15 inches (I cannot remember which) of poured concrete. The walls are good for 150 mph winds.

Apparently engineers started paying attention to the lesson learned by the 3 little pigs

But the wood is still on outside on those houses as well as plaster in hollow internal walls - right?

I had forgotten how foxy Miss Kirwan is until i saw this photo the other day. I'd bally well kiss this angel...

She's going to be in the next Doctor Who Christmas special, unless I much misremember...

That's the rumour. She may even replace HMS Warspite as my avatar!

I believe I saw her in the sneak preview at the end of the last episode of Series 4.

Ok, yeah, compared to you I'm a lightweight.

I'm on cup #3 and it's probably my final cup.
