Dan... about 2 years ago, we were visiting TV in March, a few weeks just after a tornado had ripped through Mulberry and a few other sections in Sumter. I have never experienced viewing the destruction of such a storm before. I can tell you... MANY homes were damaged severely, destroyed and just plain disappeared except for the slabs they were built on. Both stick built and CBS homes were affected, however, it seemed to us that the vast majority of homes that really took the brunt were the stick builts.
I for one, would prefer a CBS built home.
Also, mold and mildew form very quickly on vinyl siding thus keeping you busy with cleaning quite often.
As for the termite question... I don't know .
Solar tubes are wonderful! They are actually a tube that gets installed from the top of your roof into your ceiling. The light you get from them is incredible! We rented a home there that had a few of them and we were always trying to turn the lights out! It was quite funny. I think they are a good investment to save on energy. My only question is: Do they leak? Anyone know?
