Framing and Roofing

Framing -- once the slab is poured -- when they start framing -- it goes VERY fast.  We left for the Florida keys for four days with only a slab on the ground and when we returned -- there was a house with a roof.

Roofing materials -- we had no idea that there were so many choices for the roofing color.  Initially, we had discussed using a metal roof, but that was cost prohibitive for us.  Tile is another option.  I have to give our builder credit -- he gave us three colors for the roof -- he was having issues with his main supplier and was in the process of switching to a new supplier and the color we selected was only available from the old supplier.  He did not complain.
