Gardeners Cottage
This old cottage dates back to the 17th century. The roof was
carefully stripped. We found several rotten rafters, and many
had bowed over the years.
15" wide rafters were ordered,
and then planed down to the exact profile of the originals. This
avoided trying to pull them into the roof and risk moving the
ceiling joists. The roof was then strengthened to take the
weight of the peg tiles. |
