I just found this thread for the first time - wow. I’ve always thought thatch to be not only an amazing application of materials but wonderfully textural and sculptural as well. Plus I’m in complete awe of the craft necessary to take a bunch of long grass and make a roof. Thanks for sharing this!

So over Christmas and into January 2020 we had this ridging job to do, the cottage had not been lived in for about 10 years as it was a bank repossession and the bank had not maintained the roof in any way Rolling Eyes

The young couple who bought the cottage knew that the roof was in a state as i went to see them so they knew what was needed to get the roof up to par.

So the work commenced, the main coat itself was in good condition, front and back and the ridge needed to be level again, the front and back where this chimney is was the worse place on the roof, first pic is with the ridge rolls in to build the level up and the second pic is show you what a ridge roll is and how many we needed to get it level, there is one more lower that you can't see Wink

The next two pic's are with the ridge finished and level again ...

Then to show you a birds eye view of how level we got the ridge ..

Well chuffed with the finished ridge Mr. Green 1996 Golf Blue 300Tdi 110 Pick up. Keeper.
