The larch roof begins!
Today is the day the roofers arrive to replace our roof with a beautiful larch wooden roof. I need to remember to take some ‘before’ photos.
Wooden roofing is by far the most sustainable option - and unlike Cedar - is grown locally - so less embedded energy in shipping. The slats are hand split to make them naturally resistant to woodworm & other bugs.
The roofers plan to start with the roof of the front porch - that’s great because we will be able to see it immediately. Wish us luck!
