Homes this size with proper insulation have amazing heat/cooling efficiency, a lot of 10000 sqft homes I worked on had heating and cooling builds of $50-$120 (midwest). Now this home probably doesn't have the R value considering how poorly made it seems, based on the echo from the rooms, I'm guessing only exterior walls are insulated and probably r26 blow in insulation in whatever attic space this home has.

This was awesome to see! Thank you, BB! I am from South Carolina! Love your channel. I had a lot of favorites watching... but narrowing it down to 3. First, the wooden beams on the ceilings and the columns. This place was built to last. Next, the squared glass throughout with the glass bar being my favorite. Last, the balcony views of the entrance and living space. Breathtaking! The natural lighting made it feel so fresh and open. Loved the WHITE. So sorry to hear his sister passed. He probably didn't have the heart to complete it since he was doing it for her. Not sure what "church" would buy this and why, but a "church" that spends that kind of money on tangible things and not eternal is more than likely not a "church" of Jesus Christ. His last commission to us was to go into all the world and preach the gospel to all mankind...to take care of the widows and orphans. Independent Baptist Pastor's daughter here! 🙋♀️ Not saying anyone outside my denomination is not real. Maybe this mansion will be used as an orphanage or a place for apartments of widows. BB, I hope your girlfriend knows how special it is that you were so excited to have her with you while working! Tell her that the peak we got at her... she's beautiful! So glad to see you happy! God bless!
