Simething to chew on, a builder in Houston IIRC Perry Homes, built homes
with steel studs in the SW Houston, Sugarland area off of HWY6. The
homes used wood for headers but the studs were all steel. These homes
are doing well 10 years later.

Hey Leon, I have a neighbor with a steel stud framed house and if he holds
the bedroom door open just right - he hears a radio station in his head!
;~)

LOL... I often wonder it all that steel would be a problem with radio or
TV reception from indoor antennas.

That said, my house has an Aluminum roof that looks like Cedar Shakes. No
reception problems at all.

As an interesting aside, my window shaker AC unit in the bedroom plays
music very softly when it's running. Took quite a few times getting
up to see which radio had been left on before I tried turning that
off, and the quiet tunes stopped. Must be some kind of wierd thing
with the fan spinning inside a farraday cage, or my brain is just
filling in the static, though it doesn't happen with a white noise
machine. I figure it's probably not me, though- it's usually stuff I
don't listen to, and comes complete with commericals.
