: It's a yert It might come in handy in Mexico<p>: Sorry if this was already discussed<p>: Eddie<p>================================================
I recall seeing a show based on this product on HGTV. It seemed to be a very cost-effective way to enclose space. Before anyone buys one and has it shipped to Mexico, however, I would strongly advise obtaining approval of ALL of the local authorities. It can be extremely costly if that isn't done. For example, on the hillside of the north shore of Lake Chapala a gringo decided he was going to build a modernistic, steelframe house with extensive glazing in a neighborhood of more traditional brick and stucco homes. He bulled his way through the construction process until all the steel framing of the two-story structure was complete, apparently against the wishes of the local authorities. Then everything stopped cold. He could not get any more materials delivered to the site, nor would any workers touch it. The gringo returned north, leaving the skeleton standing. After a few years, the authorities dismantled the steel, cutting off the posts at ground level, leaving only some retaining walls and concrete pads. The property has remained in that condition for the last two years.
