Ha!!... I'm reminded of one of the (factual) quotes by some Aussies when Americans talk about how everything
is so big there....  Well, in Australia, we have a single privately owned cattle station in the out-back, that is
bigger than the whole State of Texas !!  I don't know what it proves, but it's true! haha...  :-+

That reminds me of a joke:
The old farmer from Texas says, "When I had my ranch, I could get up in the morning, get in my truck, drive all day and still be on my property."
The old farmer from Kentucky said, "Yeah, I had a truck like that once too... "

Those temperatures I can only find inside my fridge. Living in such conditions for me is inconceivable.

Would you design your house for once in a lifetime event such as this?  :-DD


It is impossible to predict any future event...

And even a $1.37bn brick and mortar house can be plagued by mold:

“The palace was built using plasterboard attached to main walls and the mould appeared between the concrete walls and plasterboard.

A source close to the Kremlin confirmed to BBC Russian that mould was a real problem: "the palace had been completed and was used for several years but then fungus appeared, accompanied by an unpleasant smell."

The builders obviously predicted this and laid the foundation 20' from where it was meant to be.

Some homeowner's policies don't cover damage from aerial objects. There used to be a time (I hope it's over) that blocks of blue ice would smash through people's roofs in the south of England. It was the contents of the chemical toilets from commercial aircraft.
