About the only handmade roof I've seen. And I've seen a lot of roofs.
It would be exaggerating to describe this Cuba street Petone roof & wall treatment as handsome.
But there are few that would so disdain convention as to do this. Nailing flat iron over both roof & upper wall areas, including flashings is both a mission and also thinking not limited by roofing convention.
Full marks to the Kiwi number 8 wire philosophy, and independent thinking!
this house has been the subject of much discussion with the council. The roof used to be silver which really stood out. I think it was also higher until a compromise was reached with the council.
