It wasn't, not for my team. I think it really depends on your team. We're an innovative group, so we wanted to try.
At first I was a little nervous, for sure, because sometimes cutting edge is bleeding edge, but I knew we had the right group together. We didn't have any vocal push-back, but I often present and share this information with other Habitat affiliates and at different conferences across the country, and there's always some skepticism. I think that comes from the fact that there are sometimes YouTube videos and different stories that come out, saying you can build a house in five minutes for a dollar. It's completely exaggerated.
I need to share the truth of how the process was for the first one and the ways we can improve it so that people can actually think about this as a practical method for building. It's very practical for the affordable housing sector, especially when we talk about how there were no deficiencies. Not having to replace drywall every year in an affordable housing structure is an amazing benefit to something like this.
