Since the internet makes us all so cozy from LA to Louisiana, it comes as a surprise to even hard core building pros that a lot of materials and systems simply don't translate from region to region. Local context simply interferes: price, local expertise, local building codes, availability of materials, even just "no one has done it that way here..." BUT, the internet & social media are shaking things up, in some cool but also disruptive ways.
