RE: How we Built our Stone Toolshed

in #homesteading7 years ago

As this building is so close to our well, rainwater can just drain into it. Also as it isn't meant to be residential, so we can use a living roof without worrying about water collection. Good tip on invasive ivy. Perhaps I could use passion fruit or a similar creeper instead. I'd probably have to refrain from using a living roof for our home to be. Any tips on making that tin roof look better?

Good thinking with the well. That would certainly save work.

Tin roofs aren't pretty are they? Attract a lot of heat when the sun's out too. I wonder if thatching in some way would work. Or maybe even branches. I do like those growing roofs with soil, but I suspect tin wouldn't hold the weight of that.
