Has anyone on here used AAC?
We did two houses with this stuff years ago. One was south of Houma and the other was a camp down in the Hackberry area. Cant remember the actual cost per sqft, but it was considerable more to build. Labor alone for electrical and mechanical are considerable more. It does have its benefits (sound, insulation value) but not enough to offset the initial cost of construction.
I remember asking the owners in Houma why they wanted this crap and she said because when it floods, you can simply hose out all the filth, repaint and your good to go.
