Roof

Roof
Yayy.. We still don't know what kind of roof we will have. Unfortunately I was so busy with fixing the errors for the windows and other "minor" details, plus a lot of work to have the house ready for the first pouring of concrete, that the whole week just flew by, and I'm still nowhere even close to know from where and what kind of roof will we have. Great, isn't it?

Our first choice is metallic roof. Now that's great, it also looks great, and is the best choice if you live in... New York.
Not in California. It is also the best choice if you live in California AND you have a huge amount of money at disposal, because here they are still so into the hacienda style, that metallic roof is rare and a luxury. They ask almost DOUBLE for it that Ruukki in Finland. Now how is that possible? Still digesting, but I hope that next week I will be able to spend some time with looking for the acceptable offer and best solution.
If metal will be out of question due to the price, we will have to stick to the concrete tiles we have. Which is not that bad, especially that I asked the structural engineer to calculate the load with the heaviest roof possible, which gives us a lot of flexibility. Something god, finally..
