From March 1, 2000 The roof craftsman shingled the roof. The roof material is the single made of red cedar from Canada. It is spent on an log house frequently in Canada. The climate in Canada is possible that it is kept for hundreds years. However, the temperature and humidity are high in YAKUSHIMA. Therefore we do not know for how many years that keeps it. This is the sole imported timber, in our house where is almost using a material in the island.

The upper photograph is the label. Our friend imported directly it. Therefore we could purchase it fairly cheaply. One bunch of it covers the roof of about 2.2 square yards. We purchased it 115 bunches.

From March 30, 2000
The carpenter has returned. And it was resumed that he attached sashes etc.
