It's that Time Again: Update

I had my baby and haven't had much time to write. We are still working on getting into our own house. We met with the engineer working on our plans and are very excited about his progress. We've kept the basic floor plan we had before, but have made some small changes. We should have the finished floor plans in two weeks. I can't wait. I'll be sure to share the plans with you when they are finalized.

Our roof will be made using INSUL-DECK roofing materials (insulated concrete). The materials will be more expensive than a wood roof, but the labor costs should be alot lower. Additionally, the insulation will keep the house cooler and the concrete should hold up well during a hurricane. Today we had to decide between a flat roof or hip roof (typical Caribbean style). Which would you chose?
