[quote]Unless you are doing an insulated concrete form[/quote] Central TX so obviously different soil but our house is insulated concrete forms covered with stucco. Love it.

A new store opened near us. Been twice I think. Food was actually good both times. Anyone remember the days before they came out with biscuits? Used to be dinner rolls. Hard to mess up since they didn't actually make them. Nothing to write home about but neither is a dry, crappy biscuit....

The section of 6th St where the the comedy club is located isn't the best but you should be fine. May see some homeless in the area. Around Hotel Indigo also isn't the best as far as homeless. That said, the vast majority of people never have a problem. You might check out the Rainey St area althoug...

[quote]Not many people are mentioning Bee Cave and Lakeway as desirable suburbs. Is there a specific reason for this?[/quote] 620 traffic is hell. That's why we moved out a bit in 2014.
