Now, are there any, we've talked about all the pros of these kinds of houses, any cons or anything people might be concerned about that are maybe different than, say, from a typical home?

- Sure, I think the care is gonna be a little bit different.

We're using EPDM and metal roofing, so some of the materials are not uncommon but maybe less common in a traditional home build.

So we, along the way, starting this last fall, we've done educational sessions on the products that we're using and the sustainability aspects.

The home will come with a COII Home Guide to help guide owners through the care that's needed.

It's really quite a bit less than your traditional home.

So that's the great part of it.

And that was the whole purpose from the beginning.

- Sure.

- Less burden, more fun.

- I've always wondered about (Rebecca laughs) metal roofs.

What are they like compared to your traditional shingled roofs in terms of energy efficiency or, you know, their lifespan, things like that?

- Well, obviously, the lifespan's gonna be more, and they're actually set up for photovoltaic systems quite a bit, you know, easier.

Another thing that's nice about 'em is steel roofing, especially, can be recycled, whereas asphalt shingles are a little, you know, more environmentally unfriendly, of course.
