Are Flat Roofs a Good Idea (in florida)?
Welcome to paradise. I once heard a lifetime resident of Florida say he would never live in a home with a flat roof because of the rain in the state. Truth be told, I have heard that on way more than one occasion and, from people I would consider intelligent. It is true that the steeper the slope on the roof, the longer it will last but, since 1948 and Paul Rudolph homes with flat roofs have become incredibly strong and by some accounts beautiful works of art. Or maybe I just like the Sarasota School of Architecture..
Is Sarasota Different From Other Places?
Welcome to Paradise. New residents will often say that they came to Sarasota for the beach and stayed for the theater or, culture or, something else I don't understand. I came here for the weather and boating and somehow am now raising a kid who is enjoying (I hope) a fun and unique childhood. I guess I didn't realize how unique it was until this morning when Sunny, Rocky and I ran into an old friend of Sunny and mine and we spent some time discussing Circus Training for pre-schoolers and the differences between trapeze and slack line walking and which is better. Sure, Sarasota has great theater, culture, restaurants and beaches but, if you are raising a child somewhere else in the country right now, please give me a call so we can find you a home near downtown.
