At the moment I want to bust a hole in my cement floor to add a drain for a new tub. This is going to cost me more than I wish to pay, but if I want the tub I will have to pay the price.

Drive down to Florida sometime. There are hundreds of roofs sitting there that can't get done. Florida is pretty tough with their construction regulation and workers must be licenced or employees of a licenced contractor. People are will to pay upto 10 times what is being paid elsewhere in the country, but there simply are not enough people willing to do the work. Forida tough regulation makes it tough for illegals and even legal immigrants to do roof work because they watch it so closely. It is not an issue of price.

Obviously the old standards in Florida led to a lot of damaged roofs.

I'd try steel frame ~
