Swiss Tradition of Tavillonnage

I spotted this excellent article on Swiss wood shingling on the BBC today. (See link below)

I have only done one wood shingled roof and I absolutely hated it because it was so tedious. The roof these Swiss masters are doing in the article makes what I did seem like childs play. Oh, what I would do to be able to move to the Swiss Alps. The only mountains we have in Nebraska are from the piles of corn after harvest.

Happy Veterans Day!

Happy Veterans Day! The guy to the very left of the picture is me waiting to get out of a very hot airplane in the 1990s. Boy how my life has changed! I don't miss everything from my career, but I do miss parts and veterans day brings those memories back.
