Ingenious - still trying to figure out if that was a skylight or exhaust vent?
Who needs a finial, let’s make that point useful.
"Saw me some big a*s slate!”
That’s slang for look at this very large and random slate that seems to be very heavy and thick!
We saw something similar on Instagram that seems to be coming out of Eastern Europe.
That’s one way of doing it. A stair case on a roof!
“Lead steps on a slated roof to gain access to the deep box gutters”,

Yes this was done on purpose. Thanks to Malarkey Roofing Products for sharing!
Said our Oregon rep, “When you can’t decide on one of our beautiful colors...you ask to have them all installed!...In my 18 years, I’ve never seen anything like it.”

"Use of lead cladding and roofing for a radio station and auditorium in Chicago. U.S. architectural applications of lead are increasing". Photo marked June 25, 1970 Looks like the Chicago Marina City towers in the background. Do you think that building is still there?
Finally, something I've never seen before! Look at this roof. Could be from the 1920's when the house was originally built. Very pliable metal. Looks like they painted it silver over red. Those birdstops are little pieces of wood. The building is now a famous landmark restaurant in Hollywood on the top of a hill overlooking everywhere. Everyone else is looking at the view. I took pictures of the roof! So what is it?
Lets take a vote shall we? Do you think this was done by a ROOFER or a HOME OWNER?

This is not just some ordinary roof. It's the White House in 19__.
