The Slate Roof Bible

The first edition of this book was the winner of the 2001 National Roofing Contractors Association Gold Circle Award for excellence in the roofing industry! The new second edition is greatly expanded, updated, and revised, in full color, with seven new chapters including International Slate, International Slating Styles, Roof Inscriptions and Designs, Recycling Slate Roofs, Chimneys, Valleys, and a general chapter that includes tile roofs, asbestos roofs and soldered seam copper roofs. Many new step-by-step "how-to" line drawings have been added to this edition, too, including how to fabricate a lead sewer vent pipe flashing, how to flash a variety of chimneys, how to replace valleys on both slate and tile roofs, and a whole lot more!
