    Yeah - I know.

    It's obvious they have deep pockets for this.

    Then again, reading the thread they are extremely practical and absolutely not frivolous.

    Like I was told once: The rich don't get rich by wasting their money.

    Can't remember the exact figure or exactly what all it included: but I remember seeing a figure of $85K for their house.

    There is a place a few hours from me that specializes in berm houses. I called them, and it is kinda expensive.

    Thing is, the salesman claimed you could install an AC unit approx. 1/3 the normal size.

    I realted the temp control qualities from that thread, and he agreed a berm will keep the temp steadier.

    Thing is figuring out where the dollar lines for the increased berm building cost and regualr house with increased AC expenses cross.
