Whatever they are it took many times the number it would take to do a normal roof.Waynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00763611338613325523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2932777540194207134.post-51563095130039101822008-10-25T15:02:00.000-07:002008-10-25T15:02:00.000-07:00Wayne, that is one serious roofing job!

I noticed the chimneys and figured it was part of the whimsy of the design. <BR/><BR/>I should add that any concerns about alterations don't seem to apply to the back of the house as there is a second level addition shooting out the back.Waynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00763611338613325523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2932777540194207134.post-16063950112504532882008-10-24T17:03:00.000-07:002008-10-24T17:03:00.000-07:00wow.

I think they repaired the chimney and didn't have the money to match the stone. If the rest of the chimney had been in stone, it'd be a little better.<BR/><BR/>Great find!Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13260829805068114560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2932777540194207134.post-41482858373130476422008-10-24T10:44:00.000-07:002008-10-24T10:44:00.000-07:00Just advertise for a part hobbit shingle artist.Just advertise for a part hobbit shingle artist.Benjamin Madisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557453060872726741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2932777540194207134.post-17851338926432157272008-10-23T17:48:00.000-07:002008-10-23T17:48:00.000-07:00Ruby is right! gingerbread, lollipops the works!TH...Ruby is right! gingerbread, lollipops the works!THis is so darn cute I could just jump through the monitor and start snapping photos.
