Can we build a fire retarded home? especially for those living in the interfacing area's prone to fires?- There is so many unique products now available that this may be done.. A home You go into - in a fire that will not burn?- with air-tanks inside & foam (non-flammable) between the metalized exterior & interior walls. Contests to construct such a dwelling should be organized & another whole industry becomes available for shipping world wide, where ever fires, happen in areas folks want to live in.. The 21st Century hands us challenges ... but ... we rise to the challenges & If we build it ..... they will come ... & get some eh? NRG 4U2 .. solargord on the paths to tomorrow ... more to come.. what is your thought.. burn proof homes?

We can build a fire resistant home & that is the only ones that should be approved for the inter-urban areas.. it can be done ... why are there no models available ?-- We need contests for new designs of housing requirements & start building the homes of the future ... we can do it... when?

- there are now fire proof homes being built on some native reserves - Canadian made & developed this is what we need to be doing with the new buildings going up in the inter-urban areas around the Okanagan. Some of this will be addressed at the new Centre for Excellence in Penticton, when it opens in 2011. This is how to help protect homes, & family's in our areas.. We will keep you informed ... at the solar & alternate energy show planed for Kelowna & Penticton this winter... We have the products, & the manpower to do things different in the days ahead.. you can get involved .. gosolr@live.ca .. to be on our list of contacts..

- The fire retartand home, is a reality and other models can be designed, for our interurban areas. Other forms of afordable housing like cluster homes, that are expandable, by adding on additional pods, connecting to original pods so as a home can grow, much more inexpensively and easily, using home owners sweat. Many advances can come to homes in the future because of the new - " Centre of Excellence for Sustainable & Alternate Living" being built as we speak right here in the place to live forever... our Penticton BC.. beaches at both end of this ancient sea bed that man has already made better.. thanks for the personal messages -- of thanks ...
