Cant you get Red colured Torchon in the USA? To match the tiles. All the European manufacturers do a Red or Terracotta colour..

Spose the grey will kind of match the copper when it patinas though

I tried it, but I didn`t get red torchon. In Germany you can buy dark brown. So I used the white one

One question comes to mind about the roof flashing. I'm curious about the flashing detail at the apron flashing that butts up to the dormer. When I framed, I always left a minimum of 4" below the window. That's not possible on this house. Is caulk the only solution?

I'm impressed! There's a lot of components that I've never had any experience with.

I'm also a bit shocked with the pricetag. I think I want to start selling tile and copper roofs!

I do have extensive experience framing, so I have a few questions. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what the framing parts are called, by roofers. I'll make my best guess.

I'm curious about the 1/3 furring strips. I'm assuming that these are located directly over the rafters. Are they?

Do you bed the furr strips in sealant? Is there any danger of water getting trapped under the furr strips and causing mold or rotting them out?

Picture 5 shows a built up rake assembly? Was there some reason why a solid member, such as a 2x8 (or a ripped down 2x10) wasn't used? Was that a change in design or scope?

Thats enough questions for one day.

That roof was a round 180000 $ material & labor
