One more thing that I was thinking. Here in Mexico when they pour
concrete roofs sometimes they put a layer of block down to insulate
the roof and then they pour the roof. I guess the same can be done
with PC blocks. Use boards to support the blocks and then pour over
them. Maybe that is more work? Anyway, its a thought.
