RDog, is that the foam under the laps of the caps or did you foam and mud it? That's alotta rock on that house. Almost needs another material to break it up. From some angles it could look like a building at U Colorado, Boulder.
Would like to see a close up of the flashing where the roof flows into the rock on that turret. Is that MCA? |

JEEZELFREEK, that's a different world than I live in. Far more important than the number of people you know while you are here is the number of people that will miss you when you are gone

Looks like roofing has been good to you! I am thinking of something in the 1,000 sqft. range myself. Been there and done that. Too much to clean, heat and pay taxes on. One bedroom, one bath, a sewing room for my wife, and a kitchen/living room. Plenty! Actually, more than enough.
Very nice place though. |

Didn't mean to mislead you, that wasn't my home just one I sold and installed. I live in the desert and they all become MY home
The Lady owns a company called "Stamp It", out of Utah. She has frachises across the nation.
A little info on the roof:
The dryin was a 3 ply torch down, base, smooth and a cap.Dry extended up all walls minmum 12"
All base jacks were copper with the torch, lead flashings with the tile and then capped with clay stacks.
All valleys were laced with the 3ply torh and then 20oz triple valley metal.
All head wall and side wall flashings were 20oz. and the edge metal was 16oz. the side wall were 10' long, 8" high 10" wide and a 1"lip. We had to make the pan 10' so the stone walls would fit. The mason's set a 1/4' angle, 6" high and then cut a groove in asll the rock to fit into the angle iron to support the weight of the above rock. all flashing was countered with 12"Sap to reduce electrolosis. The copper was left natural to age as a "dirty penny".
The tile was bought directly by the owner who had it shipped in from Italy on a freighter, rail and then truck. Before we installed the tile the HO inspected the dry-in for no nail exposure. They required no nails in the tile and requested a foam set. Polyglas put a lifetime warranty on the roofing system as it was their torch and they supplied the foam. All the pans were set in 8" foam patty, all the tops were laced on both sides with a bead of foam and set in place. We applied mortar to every top and fully mudded both sides of all hip and ridge beams as well as mudded bird stop. we also added bumps and stacks in the field to give it that 200 year old look. That was real rock they used and I agree, something else to breakup the monotomy. Shutters or something..... |

Oh, and the copper "D" gutters, they were fun too. |

Hey, if you have more of those gutters to put up on round roofs like that, my brother can raduis them in up to 91 inch sections for you. It is a lot easier than segmenting them. |

I'll keep that in mind, OS, but it's a long way to come for gutters. Must be some expensive gutters.  |

Rdog, how recent are those pictures? Around here new construction megahouses have become extremely rare. Nobody wants to spend 4 or 6 million when they can buy an equivelant pre-existing house for 1.5 to 2 million (or less). |

Ciak, we'll go 100 days with out a trace of rain then get a 1/4" and then another 60 days until we get more. It makes for very dull phone days. We are already 1-3/4" behind schedule and we only get 7" a year.
Wywoody, those pics are from late 2009 into early 2010.
I have 3 or 4 in progress now, every bit that size. Because of the different trades, it take 8-10 months from dry-in to final to complete. we probably start 1 sometimes 2 a month. I'll send some pics of work in progress. |
