John, we are not building (but have an aluminum framed house, constructed in the 70's, that we bought 9yrs ago ( I think 4 were brought into Keaau at that time...)
Our interest in aluminum framing for this area started when we saw this house & has continued over the years... (I am sure that I would not have like the house we are in as much in the upper midwest...as I REALLY liked thermal breaks there... but without that need, the structure we have here is pretty interesting...)
When we saw the CatFive structures, we were even more impressed with the potential they could offer builders here...so I posted for future home builders (hopefully this is our "never again" house.... but wish I had found the info a few months earlier...would so much rather this structure to all of the stuff we will be going through to replace an added on, termite destroyed, wood lanai roof structure!)
