Default Wannabe questions:
I've been scouring the real estate listings (man, there are a lot of them to scour) and I thought I'd ask you veterans a couple of things.

1. Frame vs. Concrete-Stucco...is this mainly a style preference, or are there structural advantages to concrete? Specifically, I'm wondering about termites and/or insurance premiums.

2. If one were to buy a wood frame house of, say, 15-20 years in age, I assume there is a service that one could hire to evaluate the condition of the house with respect to termites, and then, assuming a passing grade, continue with termite control. Am I right?

3. What the heck is a "solar tube", and what do they do, and what do they cost?

Thanks, and stay tuned for more questions. Hey, it's like minus 10 outside my door...
