Probably Hawaiian acres, haven't bought the property yet. A variation would add more roofing (I'm also looking at breaking the deck area into multiple island decks but doesn't really effect this discussion). I'm not opposed to doing an alternative floor surface. I agree with you in regards to the long term view of cost (obviously initial price is a consideration but you have to balance that with long term value). I know you are partial to metal structures - Are those limited to pre-packaged / standard builds or do you have the freedom to do something like this?
