err posted:Car worth more than the house Yuuuup. Welcome to the white trash west. You can't even reliably move it to your own land in that area without dumping $40k into a well (700-900ft there) and another $30k for a handful of acres within range of an electric pole. Also another $8k for septic. And then it wouldn't meet the minimum square footage for the county (600sqft), so you would have to expand it or be limited to camping time frames (30 days on property, 90 off). It's a nice little trailer you can't move anywhere but to little lots zoned for less than 600sqft houses that hold their residents hostage with lot rents.

could mean the only ones selling are higher end properties for $250k+ household incomes, while 'normal homes' are sitting unsold due to evaporated demand from sub-six figure households.

lil poopendorfer posted:Good move, sheet metal technology has come a long way. You got the undercoating and extended warranty too, right? Duct work doesn't have to be entirely sheet metal. Plenty of large insulated hoses out there. But there is insulated metal ductwork, double walled with foamboard in between. Not the worst idea if building new. Better in the ductwork than under the stairs.

Not the worst idea if building new. Better in the ductwork than under the stairs. Flexible ducts are for short runs in accessible areas .. they restrict air flow more than rigid ducts and have to be replaced with time. As far as insulting the rigid ducts - It’s totally unnecessary unless the duct is running through an uninsulated space, such as an attic or a crawlspace. Like, what would you be trying to insulate from—the ambient temperature of your house?

My assumption would be attic or crawlspace, if you're on a concrete pad and the attic is finished or doesn't exist, then of course it doesn't make sense to insulate the ductwork. But I've lived in Memphis with an uninsulated attic and you bet your rear end I taped up every leak I could find in that goddamn space. E: that house also had flexible duct as permanent. lovely builders use lovely tactics.
