Hmmm... I don't know then. We were told that is why they generally don't
build them that way any more in this area.

seems like they had something they wanted to sell you, or it was a builder
that had supplies to use, that occurs a lot here with subdivision
builders,... also the only thing that really determines what sells/makes
costs go up are things like earthquakes or flood issues... one thing that
most of the builders kept trying to sell us was the "tornado/storm" safe
room/location... only xxx estra/ and to date i have never been in a home
that has one... most people do have a basement here. so that is what they
use. Lee

I don't know. I did just look it up online and it said at many sites that
basements aren't cost effective.
