TooMuchAbstraction posted:If I recall correctly, as far as the house design itself is concerned the big things are making sure that the roof and siding are not easily flammable, because the #1 way fire spreads is by embers blowing in the wind and landing on something that can burn. So stuff like cedar shingles are out, but tar shingles with the pebbles embedded is OK and so is metal. Stucco siding of course is a solid pick, I think hardyboard also works well? Don't take my half-remembered musings as fact though. Metal roof is probably the best bet

Don't do. Cedar, it's gonna be a bitch and requires painting at least every few years to not rot with that humidity. And the fire risk is huge

It's in his other thread, it's a plot of land in the Pacific northwest with a well that he had dug and other utilities I believe setup.

And remember that the things cost a few 6 figures on top of it to to bring that analogy around that your not just paying a ton of money for a piece of poo poo, but a ton of money for a moving piece of poo poo. And people buy new ones that cost half a mill and just live in them.

Legit that's awesome and it's great that it worked so well. Absolutely terrifying I bet moving the rotary in though!
