All the Walmarts around seem to be leaking as well. Shouldn’t the engineers and architects take these measures into consideration when building these structures?

Yup, that's what I'd like too. Probably should ask a representative for a calendar/ budget /..News sources report nothing on the disappearance of these three institutions... probably they will be only online..

Something to consider is a lot of “cash” deals are funded through HELOCs which obscure the definition imo. These HELOC funded “cash” acquisitions are then later refinance into permanent financing. HELOCs coming from preexisting homes, family members properties, etc.

Yes yes yes and good fishing to be had. Slow fishing but usually action. Frozen eyelets the biggest issue. Often warmest when your chest deep in the water with a good pair of waders.

The University of Maine printed the first prototype in their on-campus facility in 2022.
Now they will be partnering with community action agency, Penquis
Penquis is receiving $3.3 million to support the project to build the first bio-based 3D printed neighborhood.
Penquis President and CEO, Kara Hay is thrilled with the partnership.
“We’re really excited! We know that in Maine we have a housing crisis both with affordability and access. We need solutions that are innovative and that can be affordable and quick,” said Hay.
The project is a joint effort in association with UMaine, MaineHousing, Maine’s congressional delegation, and the Key Bank Foundation.
The 3D printed homes are printed with materials such as wood residuals and bio-resin.
With the amount of materials in Maine, this neighborhood could be just the beginning of many more.
Dr. Habib Dagher, the founding executive director of the University of Maine Advanced Structures and Composites Center, said: “The goal is to make money 50% wood and 50% bio-resin. You may ask me, ‘Is there enough of these wood residuals in Maine to build homes?’ We did a survey, and we have about a million tons of what residuals every year in our region. A 600 square foot home, which is what we printed uses, 10 tons of of that material. So, you take a million tons divided by 10 tons every year, we have enough material to produce 100,000, 600 square foot homes.”
The creation of this neighborhood will also help UMaine polish-up the printing, shipping, and assembling process that goes into taking scraps of wood, and making them into complete home.
This will also be the path of the school’s Factory of the Future, where the houses will be built.
It will be a first-of-its-kind research and learning facility that will usher-in the future of digital manufacturing in true Dirigo spirit.
Hay added: “There’s something that happens around innovation, where even for those who have stigma against people that are struggling financially, the conversation the narrative changes when you pair innovation with the work. So one of the things we’re really excited about is being able to address stigma more directly.”
