It looks like the roof of that property is slate, or maybe wooden shingles.

Also, by not taking off the asbestoes the owners didn't open themselves to abestoes infiltration in the lungs. From what you say it does sound like it would make an attractive siding on a house. -- barbaraFolkways Note Bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07168881905408345126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4872424549721246994.post-29990699894603501462010-09-25T18:30:02.129-07:002010-09-25T18:30:02.129-07:00We have a house down the branch from us that some ...We have a house down the branch from us that some years ago the owners covered with those slabs ( on top of pale green asbestos shingles.)

The slabs, of course, are the by-product of the logs they used somewhere else in construction. Interesting. Obviously, too, they left lots of "airspace" for the smoke to escape. <br /><br />Great photos!<br />EloraElorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04579555623060708938noreply@blogger.com
