Well, I gotta say, straw insulates better then just about anything I can afford. We are talking r-50-60 here. Who can complain about that? In addition, its cheaper, so Im still going with that.
I should mention that Im not exactly obtaining a building permit. Nor a certificate of residency.
The straw... Look into it, bugs and rot are virtually a non-issue.
The problem with shingles... well, they are a pain in the ass, thats the problem. Replacing them after a Northeast windstorm (3 times a week or so) would make me go broke all on its own.
Plus, metal is reltivly easy in comparison to nailing a million shingles.
