Thathing not DIY!,
By Boyd (New Zealand) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Thatch and Thatching (Shire Library) (Paperback)
After reading this book I would not like to try thatching! Not because the works hard or I don't like heights - its just I would not like to go to that amount of effort and still have a roof that leaked!
Jacqueline Fearn covers a history of thatch in England with surprises such as smoke-blacken thatch reveiling a practice of only stripping the top weathered layers of thatch as part of the maintenance cycle. There are a series of Black and white photographs showing experts in action and a very detail description of the process. Its a process I'd be happy to leave to the experts though... If you do want to try your own thatch this is a good starting point with a very good bibliography - even mentioning the Dorset Fire and Rescue Service's guide to fare safety in thatched buildings. |
