Sorry I hit the tab button, and it submitted.

Continued;
Siding??? 7 sq of Vinyl & accys = $700.

Hurricane-Proof Roof to go with the Hurricane-Proof and Earth Quake-Proof ICF walls.
25'x5.5 x 16" LVL $350.
2"x 12"x 12' (40) $600. 5/8" Plywood (20) $360.
The Biggest Cost a Metal Roof installed $5000.

Plus windows & doors + interior finishing, floors??? etc.
$15,000 for a Hurricane-Proof and Earthquake-Proof High Efficiency Green Building.

This would also work for commercial buildings and Public Schools. They are making Tornado-Proof ICF Schools in Tenn & other states with ICFs

The ICFs are also Mold-Proof, and Rot-Proof, and will last hundreds of years or more.

The Roman Coliseum was build in 72AD, out of un-Protected Concrete, and is mostly still standing.
In ICF buildings the concrete is protected from the sun, wind, rain, hail, and freezing, so they actually have the potential to last 1000 years or more.

Send them some ICFs they are real easy to work with, Habitat for Humanity is building with them all over the country.
I have built 3 with the Plymouth Habitat, and a bunch of retired housewives, students, & businessmen with no construction experience.

Forget the cinderblock they will just crumble again the next time and kill more people, unless you fill them with concrete & rebar in every hole, and chisel slots for No. 5 horizontal rebar every coarse.

An easy solution would be Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs).
The panel type are very transportable aprox 9000 ft2 of wall per 40' truck or container, thats aprox (13) 20'x 25'x 8' (500 ft2 homes)per truck load cost of aprox $40,000. with shipping.

Each home ICF cost aprox $3077. + 700' of No.4 Rebar $300, 7yds3 of Concrete??? in Ma. $100/yd3 $700, so the total ICF wall cost would be aprox $4000. or less.
1/2" sheetrock inside 21 shts = $150.

Osama said he's sending $100,000,000. that's )One Hundred Million $$$, pluss about $10 Million from the rest of the world, and a bunch from the American charities and the American people. that much thats
