Roof Tiling

Tiling the roof has proved to be one of the most time-consuming tasks so far. But finally it is done -- after about three week's work.

The main reason it took so long is that we insisted on replicating the original ornate tiling. In fact, the result is somewhat different -- the original tiles are no longer available. Still, we are pleased with the results:

Note the ornamental edges, with tiles laid perpendicularly at the gable ends. The roof is just waiting for some finishing touches -- three finials to go over the gables. These also were not original, but somehow got included in the design.
