We love the roof. ...Thanks for your kind words TM. <br />We love the roof. It seems to really fit out little house.<br />Our floors are spruce shelving. We alternated between 6 inches wide and 12 inches wide. <br />We put stain on them but not varnish and now that they are about ten years old, it's beginning to look like barn wood.Rick Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005727239466916086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-43389966217449173192010-07-20T19:59:36.719-05:002010-07-20T19:59:36.719-05:00We had some hail damage a year ago, and the insura...We had some hail damage a year ago, and the insurance company paid for a new roof. I have dreamed of having a tin roof for a few years, also thinking it was a blessed sound in the rain. However, the cost here in Oklahoma is prohibitive--almost twice the cost of a 50 year comp shingle, so we didn't get it this time. My dream home, however, will have a tin roof, water catchment system and some bamboo floors. <br /><br />I am really enjoying your blog. :) You have such a wonderful way with words.<br />tmorneryswifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13702378853361498700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-11247893462895035332010-07-02T18:25:37.097-05:002010-07-02T18:25:37.097-05:00I'm thinking of getting a metal roof.

The insurance guys came and paid me to have half of it re-shingled, but I didn't. I've no leaks and the metal roof is becoming. I was thinking, metal and then solar panels over that. <br /><br />First memory of metal roof in rain was the brood house where I grew up. I used to lie on an old feed sack on the floor and all the little chickies would be around. Rain was fun and mom would have to come get me after the storm.Charlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17167633465853736197noreply@blogger.com
