Some before and after of this amazing job.

This is a project the home owner did himself. He did an amazing job.

This is 5/8"x18" Wall Grade #2

This home was built in 1777. In northern Vermont. What a beautiful job. The roof has been redone with 3/4" x 18" Wall Grade (50% clear or more) This is the old historical roof grade that was used for 100's of years. This is almost exactly the way the house was in 1777. Roof will be there protecting the home for another 100+ years.

This home owner did an excellent job putting the 5/8" x 18" Wall Grade #2 on his house. They are on at 6" exposure and stained with Australian Timber oil in the Honey Teak. Makes a very, very nice job. The 5/8" Shakes go very well with the thick stone work.

Was a very nice project to be involved with. The building was redone in the same way it was originally built. The #2 Hand-splits were used on the roof (3/4" x 18"). The early Americans used what they had. They were looking to get through the winter, not last 100 years. Most of the things they built did last many, many years. So to replicate the original building. This is what was done. Pine boards as the roof sheathing. Then a layer of felt, then cedar breather, and then the #2 Hand-split shakes. Looks like it did when it was built, and will last for the next 100 years for all to enjoy.

Was very happy to be asked to be part of this project.
