Now - here it is - our new
garden roof. Stan built the borders first from 2x4s of an outdoor wood to match
last year's trellis. The outside border has a facia board to match. The felt material is to protect the
roof from being punctured by the black crushed
lava rock which hold moisture for the roots of the sedum plants. By the way, most of the time it was pouring down rain.
1. Stan spreading the felt
material.
2. Stan spreading the granulated
lava rocks over the felt. They came in the white bags you see. The board
standing on end is the facia board.
3. The sedum came in rolls 1 meter
by 2.5 meters in size. Stan is unrolling and laying it over the rock base.

and Stan checking out the progress.
5. We had the delivery guys carry
the rolls - 16 meters - up to the 2nd floor. Susan laid out an oilcloth table
cloth and some rugs to catch some of the soil - but, I tell you, especially
with the rain it was a bear to clean up the front foyer, stairs, and this room.
6. Ah, it was all worth it! View from 2nd floor.
7. Now, the sun is out and here is
a view from the 3rd floor.
8. Update after 3 months growth -
November 18, 2006 - nice and lush ...
