The new material we are trying out for the Apache Reservation houses is called Panel W and essentially creates a steel-reinforced concrete structure with built in foam insulation. It isn't going to go anywhere when it is complete. The finished roof is, more or less a concrete slab. On my last trip out to the "Rez" we poured our first roof. We hauled buckets of cement up to the roof and spread it out by hand. It is a long, hot day's work.
