The subject of much discussion on several list serves, comes to life at the Newberry homestead. Yup, the imfamous reciprical roof. I actual stood on this without a single nail in it. I don't recommend you do such a silly thing, but for sure don't do it cause I did it. I mean if you fall or something, well... you get the picture.

Anyway, I got some material from a textile mill near here. They tossed it in a dumpster and I picked it up. I first nailed down some chicken wire, then the fabric. I then layed down a layer of clay coated straw. Not too much however, as I wanted to keep it somewhat light. Then I placed a couple of layers of tar paper, then I will put my cement/carpet roof on top of this. The very center will be a sky light made with lexon.
