SV, I am in the planning stages, too, for "The Duck Inn." Yes, some say their ducks won't go inside, but I plan to give them the option. In New England, this time of year, I suspect they will seek shelter.
I love your design and your presentation. Bravo!
In any case, regarding the roof material, I am staying away from shingles because I want to be able to (later) collect rainwater, and there are various arguments about the quality of rainwater collected off of shingle roofs (another topic, I don't mean to start off on a tangent, just to explain why I would consider metal roofing or more light-attenuating polycarbonate material). Perhaps you know someone who knows someone who has a scrap piece of metal roofing you could take off their hands.
