Build Your Home with Indestructive Recycled Materials

Build Your House with Environmentally Friendly and Revolutionary Recycled Materials

In recent years, we are more environmentally aware everything that surrounds us from what we use to what we produce. We think twice about using some products at home whether it's for house cleaning or drinking a soda. Some people even go further to recycle everything comes out of their households. One company even revolutionized building materials from recycled wastes.
Can you believe that we can build a house with recycled materials? Believe it. A building that built with recycled materials instead of concrete, lumbers, or steel, which are stronger, fire proof, extremely sound proof, bullet proof, waterproof, and energy efficient. Most of all it is environmentally friendly.

Is it too good to be true?
According to the company, they can build a home or commercial buildings with this recycled materials not only superior to convential buildings but also they help save the planet by mass-recycling into highly efficient real estate. In conventional buildings create millions of tons of wood waste and dumped in landfills every year according to EPA. US has 1.5 billion waste wood pallets, 6 for every American (Wall Street Journal). The US produces well over 100 million tons of coal combustion byproducts every year (Environmental Protection Agency). The construction of a 5,000+ house can recycle more than 600 TONS of these waste materials (land filled or piled up). There has never been a better time to get started cleaning up our planet! The extremely positive response to the company's approach proves that mass recycling into efficient Real Estate is a welcomed solution for today's environmentally and quality conscious mentality.
According to the company, the demand is growing rapidly as more and more people become environmentally & quality conscious. When people are presented with the concept of “a super home or commercial building that recycles 200, 600, 1,800, 23,000 TONS” and so on, contracts are easily closed and the competition fades away.

Fire Proof
Blasting the surface of the building material with 3,000 degree Fahrenheit blow torch will not cause the material to ignite. In other words, the building material will not burn.

Extremely Sound Proof
About 45+ Coefficient depending on thickness. Your home / building will be as sound proof as a professional recording studio. Tired of "paper thin walls you can hear through"? Our recycled building material is the answer!

BULLET proof
No “paper thin walls” as in with frame. We have shot wall panels with 12 gage shotguns, 357 Magnums, 45's, 22's, 9's, M14's, M16's, from as close as 10 feet away and we can still not find a bullet that will go through one of our 8 inch Super Wall Panels! :-)

Water Proof
All building components (panels) are waterproofed and sealed tight. No water penetration or moisture affects the panels.

Strong Wind Proof
Direct blows with a sledgehammer only cause small dents and external surface damage to Our Proprietary (recycled) Building Material. Our Proprietary (recycled) Building Material will not break/shatter in pieces as easy as concrete or brick does or shatter like wood frame does when hit by large flying objects or being directly exposed to Hurricanes and Tornadoes.

R-100+ Self Insulated means EXTREME ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Not even the new slogan "Energy Star Partner" can describe our energy efficiency. Insulation is measured in "R-VALUE". The higher the "R-VALUE", the better insulated it is. The test consists in applying a minimal amount of heat to one side of the insulating material and measuring the amount of time for a minimal amount of heat to reach the other side. Wood Frame averages R-12 to R-20, which is pretty low. Insulated Concrete (ICF) is of course a bit higher than the insulation used in wood frame (About R-40). But when one side of a building component (wall panel) is exposed to 3,000 degree blow torch on one side, the heat does not (And I mean HEAT DOES NOT) go through the panel. This means that our proprietary (recycled) building material does NOT TRANSMIT HEAT. This can put our R-VALUE at well over R-100, if not R-INFINATE!

Seismically Superior
The flexural strength is much greater than concrete. It 'gives', bends, and can even crack without shattering in pieces like concrete can. When that big earthquake comes, you want to be in a Custom Super Home rather than in "one of their stick homes".

Sustainable
Sustainability has become a goal for many. Building with our proprietary (recycled) building material(s) result in SUPER SUSTAINABLE HOMES AND BUILDINGS perfect for the "New Sustainable Concious Communities".

Environmentally Friendly
The construction of a 5,000+ square foot house can recycle more than 600 TONS of fly ash & wood waste materials (land filled or piled up). It is neither toxic nor hazardous to you or to the environment. No out-gassing, radiation,etc. We have a complete Environmental Study proving it.

Is Being Loyal Still Valued in Our Society?

The other day one of the PBS network stations aired Donald Trump interview. He is well known as a real estate tycoon and a major figure in the casino/hotel industry. His flamboyant life style and Trump skyscrapers in Manhattan certainly represent his fame and success in his field. His current celebrity role on television reality show ‘The Apprentice’ is growing popularity. There is no doubt that many ambitious young people admire his success.

However, neither his success nor his fame caught my attention. I was more interested in his downtime experience. Like many successful business people who went through their trying times, he also had to pay his due. Interestingly, his experience in failure was more dramatic than others and seemed that taught him a great deal.

The late 1990s his financial problems made his name well known when his unstoppable ambition to expand business came to halt and led to 900 million dollars in debt. At that time, his financial problem was so big his creditors could not offered let him go down. However, some of his friends in the business, he thought they were his friends, had turned on him and had nothing to do with him when he needed them the most.

He realized then who really his friends were. "People kiss your ass when you are successful. But people turn on you when you fail even colleagues who used to work with you. They don’t want you to call them anymore. You can make an interesting movie about it." He continues, "For example, I hired a woman. She was very unattractive physically and I found out later mentally as well. I took her out of her government job and made her successful."

His point was that he asked her to make a phone call to her friend as a favor when his company was in trouble. Her friend was a banker and a very close friend of her, who would do anything if she asked. But she told Donald, "I couldn’t do that. And, I am leaving the company to do my own business." He made her very successful otherwise she couldn’t be as successful in the business. Because of her success, she bought a beautiful house and met her handsome husband who married her for her money. However, right after she left his company, she lost everything; house, business, and her husband divorced her.

Over the years, she has called his company many times and left many messages with his secretary to return her calls, but he didn’t cared much about her anymore and never called her back. In fact, he gave the worst reference about her.

The moral of his story was that he thinks loyalty in business is important. It tells something about the person. People can count on him or her when they need the most. In recent years, I haven’t heard anyone who even speaks about loyalty. I don’t believe that it’s even existed in the corporate world or in our society. Mergers and acquisitions are common in the business now days and employees are not considered their assets and no one cares them anymore and vice versa.

Another example, Arnold Schwartzenegger was on one of the late night shows recently. When the host asked him about his support for the president, his answer was very staggering. He sees the president’s popularity is slipping, he turned his back on him completely. They both once supported each other for their political campaigns as Republican Party. That tells us a lot about him as a human being. Now, he is running again for the second term as a governor in California.

It is a rare character to find from a person. I didn’t think of Donald Trump much as a person but admired his business acumen, ambition, and thrive. Now, I can see why Donald Trump is very successful because he values something more from his employees and friends which others don’t. In return, he keeps them as his friends forever.
