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.
