Just a couple of quick questions here if anyone can help me out. I plan to replace my Katrina ex-house with an 800 sq ft cottage type / beach house with old fashioned stucco construction like that in the pic below.
1) If anyone knows anything about the materials and construction techniques required to reproduce such an exterior I would certainly appreciate your passing that info on to me. The newer stucco material popular these days that feels like Styrofoam when you touch it isn’t anything I’d be interested in. I also like the window and the chipped away plaster-on-brick look.
2) I like the shingles on the roof but haven’t been able to find any like that, yet. I’m also thinking of a copper roof (I know it’s expensive) unless someone talks me out of it. But in any event, I definitely plan to put on a metal roof whether it ends up as copper, aluminum or steel. Thank you for your help.

I can't see the shingles very well, but this is what I think they are:

As far as the copper, let me try to talk you into it.
Oh yeah, and please don't double post. If anybody knows the answer, they'll find it. Welcome.
