On each side of the curb, the roofing membrane is turned up the cant, where it is lapped by a separate base flashing membrane, which extends to the top of the curb. 3, record 6, English, - curb

Cedar shakes are the ideal roofing material for many areas of the Western United States. A wood roof keeps your house warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. A Meeker shake roof can endure 130 mph winds. In the winter, a Meeker cedar roof will effectively shed snow and ice. Cedar shakes are resistive to thermal shock associated with freeze-thaw conditions. Where fire is a hazard, Meeker cedar shakes optionally treated with FTX are fire retardant for life. 3, record 10, English, - wood%20roof

Ask your local firefighters about shake roofs... They will tell you that wet shake roofs are very slippery. In the summer, a dry shake roof doesn’t just burn, it can explode. And a burning shake roof can throw off embers and help spread the fire.

A common early rural domestic building style was a single room log house, or pen as the architects call it. Often the attic was used as a sleeping loft. As the family grew, a second log house would be built adjacent to the first. The two buildings, or double pens, could be joined by a common roof and a wood floor between the buildings could be added. The space created between the two buildings is called a dogtrot.
