I prefer a fiberglass interior (termites are a constant issue id south Florida), but I can live with a wood interior if I can get the fiberglass exterior and meet Miami-Dade code. Thanks!

Thanks, I am just afraid that the stakes will not hold up to as it is one sided, and the weak florida soil, and it will flop over a strong wind . But I will give it a shot. I will stake it today before the rain comes as I need my tractor back.

While dark colors are very popular right now, I don't know if I would go that direction in FL. When you say you want to make it more "contemporary" what do you mean by that? Are you interested in a dark or medium color, or just a different color? What color are your neighbors' houses? People frequently want their house to be a different color than their neighbors'.

Im comparing apples to apples as close as i can. We did visit with 2 homeowners who had glowing reviews of the less expensive company. Going to save $21000 and sleep well tonight. Thanks for your input.
