What’s this song playing in the beginning
2022 : 🍺🫲🏻 hold this
Can we make it bigger
Looks good, but it better be elevated on pilings on the coast.
It didn’t cost money it SAVED MONEY and more.
And all ya gotta do is sh*t a golden brick !
That is fantastic. I am sure it s only for the rich.
dome is probably even better
Shut your pie hole, man made climate change is not real. The climate changes on it’s own time with or without man! And I’m sure some woke sick human will say that I’m a misogynist for using MAN MADE climate change. You all need Jesus!
I saw the zelle ad. which is why I will never use it.
It’s either a hurricane resistant structure or the world’s largest frisbee. Time will tell.
Nobody goes to sleep at night wishing they had not put high wind zone (Simpson strong tie) hurricane connectors in their building, or home structure.
Nobody goes to sleep at night wishing they had not raised their building that extra 3 feet.
Hire a state certified building engineer or architect. Tell them you want your house to withstand category five storm winds, and 500 year flood lines. They will tell you how much that will cost, how very few do it. Do it.
A penny’s worth of prevention, is worth more than a dollar’s worth of reconstruction after the storm.
and they said GOD couldnt sink the titanic
not many people would be willing to live in what is essentially a grain silo or quonset hut, and even fewer towns’ zoning regulations would allow them to be built.
Does nothing to stop the water
USE CONCRETE!
what about homes like this in wildfire areas ? Are they flame proof ?
“We use special materials”. Then shows wood shop.
Climate change? Called hurricane season. Called living on the outer banks on a sand spit made by previous hurricanes.
I worked for Deltec 30 years ago. They really are well built homes. Like beautiful tanks.
The construction industry has been ignoring this for decades. Why? Follow the money.
(It’s not profitable)
Very Great !
Let me guess it’s made of stone
Not surprised at a round home survives a hurricane! Makes perfect sense! Should be required by all insurance companies in hurricane prone areas!!!!
How can I get help with getting one of these built?
Historic homes suffer the least damage from hurricanes, because they were made with solid wood or brick. These modern homes made with low quality material are polluted and using up a lot more resources as most of them have to undergo significant repairs after hurricanes!
The story of the three little pigs comes to mind.
why are they using wood anyway?
3:30 triangular houses could have been great too
Perhaps homes in hurricane zones should not be built out of wood and instead should be built out of concrete. It is understandable that concrete is more expensive. Wouldn’t it be less expensive in the long term to not have to rebuild your house every 10 — 15 years if your house is built to withstand hurricanes?
Climate change is real and the oceans are rising. I remember that Obama speech, right before he bought his beachfront property.
Great idea but… Climatard fear? 🤦🏼♂️
Now use steel instead of wood and weld it together. Thing would be nearly impossible to blow over
Imagine the headaches you’d save by using idk concrete, brick ect.
How about a house made from stone? Has anyone ever seen the story of the wolf and the three little piggies?
That house is literally built just like any other
Definitely not debris going 200 mph proof
> “hurricane-proof”
> builds a wood frame house
Hurricane Andrew would like a word with you.
There’s one built in McCrogan SC back in 2003, the owner had to instruct the builder on how to construct it. It withstood Hurricane Matthew and Florence, I was in it only lost power, not one shingle was gone. I witness the power of wind coming out of the west and going through the trees, laying them on their side and nothing happened to me. Mother is a Beast!!!!
It seems the building code should require these homes per location
ITS ABOUT TIME!💯💯💯
