Traditional Roofing Magazine

Joe Jenkins, author of "The Slate Roof Bible," publishes a nice magazine called "Traditional Roofing Magazine." His book is awesome, so when he asked me to write a short article for his magazine, I was honored to try. To my excitement, the latest issue of the magazine (with my article) arrived in the mail last week. (I can't help but to think of the scene in "The Jerk" when Steve Martin gets his name published in the phone book.)

Joe Jenkins makes .pdf's of his magazine available for free on is web site, so if you're interested in the story of our slate roof (or of other slate roofs!), you might want to check out his rag... Traditional Roofing Magazine. When you get to that page, you can browse all of the articles in that issue or jump straight to my article.
