This past week we put up the roof on the office cottage. I had shown Tim a picture of Robyn Brown's (Magnolia Pearl) guest house. Mentioning how much I like the old roof and siding. He told Ken Babin about it and Ken said he had a "whole pile of that stuff" by his greenhouse. He was nice enough to give me the old roofing from a shed they had torn down years ago! He was happy I could use it. And a bit surprised I was interested in it!
Goose makes a good on site journeyman!
At the end of the day I passed around the beer and toasted what I call "the most beautiful roof I have ever seen!".
Ken said "It;s all in the eye of the beholder Jennifer, but if you are happy with it then it is the most fantastic roof ever built!" I love these guys!
Next up is windows and door...and yes, those too have a story! Love, Jennifer

Beauty is, indeed, in the eye of the beholder. I, for one, enjoy collecting old books. The old roofing on the office cottage you are building looks great. The vintage look certainly carries a certain charm.
“The goal is to make a building that looks as if it has been here for years and has a story!” Well, I like that idea. Yeah, it’s in the eye of the beholder. I find it beautiful too. The old but newly installed roof looks so perfect there. Good job guys!:)
You’ve made the right choice in using galvanized metal roofing. I’m sure that roof will still be reliable even if it is already old. This is because it is highly resistant to extreme weather conditions. Anyway, good job to you Jenny and Tim for making that beautiful office cottage.
You definitely hit the bullseye, Jennifer! I like your idea of putting a rusty metal roof on it. Now, the cottage has that rustic, homey field you’d expect and want in a house in the countryside. Great job! =)
A “rusty roof’ is a style that some people used to apply when they want to give their home an older look. Well, I’ve got to say that the worn look of the metal roof you used goes well with the cottage. Now, it really looks like it’s been there for years! Haha! Great job, guys!
I like really like the idea of reusing an old roof and turn it into another useful roof. It turned out beautiful that matches the wall very well. Brilliant idea, Jennifer! Good Job!
