Why not use rain water ? Like they do in Bermuda

[MidniteMuncher]

While on a recent vacation to Bermuda I noticed that they use limestone roofs to not only keep from being blown away by a hurricane but also to harvest the rainwater . This seems like a fabulous idea ! Why don't people around the world do this

Pretty simple answer to this one if you ask me.... its not easy to find contractors that are willing to go out of there way to spend the extra money to develop these limestone roofs that they probably know nothing about. America is about specialization and we only know how to get the cheapest stuff and go from there

[B] Yes , It seems nobody is willing to make an investment in the future with money as tight as it is . Quite a shame [/B]
