That's what we go to sleep to! (I've even got an app...)

Its not insulated at all here, so rain or worse hail, sounds horrendous. Massively worse than it's actually raining. It's not that gentle sound apps play... more like someone playing the drums on the roof.

The barns are like that. The houses have an attic which helps a bit.

We got uninsulated iron sheeting on the roof as well
Can be quite noisy during one of those tropical storms

The entire house is like that.

We go with metal roofs around here.

Same here, every other house has a metal roof. They look great, because they come in a thousand colors, it seems.

I don’t really know what you mean by a metal roof? The only type of metal roof I’m familiar with is the corrugated type and I have a feeling it wouldn’t be that?

I like coconut water ok. I'd rather eat a handful of cashews though. Below is just the minerals in a 1 ounce serving:

I drank it by the quart working in the desert...

That totally makes sense to keep electrolytes in balance.
