SB: Need a pretty photo of a SB house with low pitch, metal roof

[Barbara Luke <bluke@ce.unlv.edu>]

Hi all,
I am moving ahead at my tortoise pace, trying to build a humble SB home 
outside Las Vegas Nevada.  The latest glitch is I've been told that there's 
a recent addition to the "Uniform Development Code" in my county that 
disallows my design because it has (1) a metal roof, and (2) a fairly flat 
pitch.  (I can't recall the actual pitch just now, but it's a simple shed 
roof design where one wall is one bale taller than the other.  That works 
out to something like 1:10.) Now I have to file a request for waiver.  I 
think my case could be supported by a photo of a nice-looking SBH built 
with a metal roof and a single, not-too-steep pitch.  Are there a bunch out 
there?  Can someone send me a photo of their beautiful home that shares 
these criteria or point me toward the right website?

Also, while I have your attention -- does someone out there have the scoop 
on good old corrugated metal for roofing versus the more expensive standing 
seam variety?

Thanks,
Barbara Luke
