We had hoped to get a grant application in by the 1st April, thanks for all those who supplied letters of support. However the technical details did not come together, still need to research and get costs nailed down.
We have competing requirements to be historically correct, comply with County code, environmentally aware and cost practical. I have a problem with asphalt tiles for all sorts of reasons, something I associate with garden sheds.

They make a durable product, but it is not wood. Regular Cedar shingles can be obtained in a quality that will last BUT they can only reach Class B for fire protection and the treatment seriously effects their life. I presume the fire requirement is more an issue for those living close to other buildings or vegetation, we have none but the code is the code. Wind survivavbility is a more important issue.
