A Fourth of July Perspective on Colonial Roofs
Happy Fourth of July! This is a day to celebrate those brave souls who stood up against a tyrannical government and won our freedom. It’s interesting to note that although centuries of time and progress separate us, we share many similarities with our founding fathers. The freedoms then were different, but we all share the basic needs of food and shelter. Just like us, the founding fathers had to keep their houses, barns, living quarters well maintained, and a roof over their family’s heads…literally! That roof had to be well maintained and free of holes and cracks to keep the weather, animals, and other intruders out.
