Our roofers...Apalachin, NY

Here's the crew that put a new roof on our 1924 Sears catalog

"craftsman" cottage in upstate New York. After taking off two layers

of asphalt shingles and another two layers of cedar shakes (a big

surprise to the roofers--the weight on that roof was astounding), the

guys said the rafters were still as straight as the day they were

unloaded from a railroad boxcar 85 years ago. Apparently, Sears

mail-order homes were made well.

great use of that directional lighting, it lines up perfectly,

Excellent group portrait, great light, I like this kind of photos..US are famous for high quality wood constructions/craftmanship.

Excellent group shot,light is great as is the crop.Nothing like the old houses they last.I have one as well (1864) all cedar planks inside and out.

Thanks, all, for the kind remarks. I was concerned about the light when I took this shot but I guess it worked--sometimes you get lucky. Birte, that house of yours sounds downright historic! All the best...Bill

I love this shot. Thanks for sharing, Giuseppe
