And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Palm Springs is much drier than Scottsdale. 5.2" vs 8.7" annual average (not a good measure generally, but you get the idea. 3.5" make a big difference in this climate.)
Notice how that sliding glass door goes right up to the underside of that roof with no beam or header above it?
That tells me the entire roof is built torsion box style and is therefore very strong in all directions, much more so than, say, roof trusses, which are really kinda squirrely. With the torsion box though you get a lot of thermal bridging and that's not good.
