As I mentioned in a post last May, one particular home builder in north Texas has even started what the builders of Pensmore are in the process of doing: building homes with concrete. It makes a great deal of sense. Nearly disaster proof, concrete homes are much less likely to catch fire with its nonexistence of wood in the construction. Don't forget high winds and tornadoes, as well - these homes can withstand highs higher than 200 miles per hour! Ah, it's also earthquake proof. With Pensmore's Tornado Alley location, it will be interesting when Spring comes around and tests its sustainability - my bet is that Pensmore will win.
Will Pensmore be the "foundation" (no pun intended) of the rise of concrete made homes? Do you think the Tornado Alley, hurricane, and earthquake regions of the US should adopt such constructions to help prevent deathly scenarios? You be the judge - tell me what you think in the comments below.
Thanks for reading,
