For the same reason the tin is on the inside. The best reed grows in the Netherlands but most of it is imported because the reed fields are nature areas nowadays. Sheepbarns are in use for storage hay etc. Sheep are always outside, but are often around the barns sheltering for rain and wind.Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11722700228974496130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-158594487075951691.post-74157266615071871642007-12-10T18:53:00.000+01:002007-12-10T18:53:00.000+01:00i am looking at the lines, textures and colors, su...i am looking at the lines, textures and colors, superb.

Is that the finished roof? The thatch sheds the water and it runs onto the tiles and then off. I assume that is it. <BR/><BR/>I have seen thatched roofs in Japan but never a combination of thatch and tiles.<BR/><BR/>It is a very handsome roof. <BR/><BR/>Is the reed bundles something grown locally and harvested or do they have to be imported?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
