    Builder constructs home that won't sag, won't bow, won't rot By MATTHEW JONES, The Virginian-Pilot
    VIRGINIA BEACH - In Shane Straley's perfect world, houses would have no wood in them. Nary a stick.

    They'd be built entirely of steel and concrete, strapping structures rising from the earth to withstand anything Mother Nature could concoct.

    And they wouldn't squeak.

    "I hate when you walk through a house and have squeaks," he said.

    For Straley, who's made a career of steel, this isn't idle talk. He's serious about the squeaking.
