Wood Roof



After much deliberation, Lance and I decided to return our roof to its original state of wood shingles. In a letter written by Ruby Brown, daughter of "Blocker" John and Hannah, to Kathy McInturf, owner of the farm from 1975-2000, Ruby states, "The wood roof was replaced with metal in the 1930's, and then not because of leaks, but because of fire hazard." Let's hope if we decide to go with metal in later years, it is not for the same reason!

In the same letter, Ruby writes of the farm, "I am so full of that place, I could write a book about it!" We feel the same.
