We’ve had a few roof leaks over the past year, and plan to redo one of our roofs in the spring.
The original roof was flat, and now has a second roof built up over it.
When we do the repairs, we’d like to take it back to a flat roof in keeping with the Italianate sytle. So this article on This Old House should come in handy

On a related note, we decided to let our This Old House subscription lapse because although we enjoy the articles, the budgets they work with are much different from ours. With every “come on, we want you back!” notice sent, they lowered their asking price a few bucks. When the last one came, it was at $10 – so I signed us back up!
Lesson learned: sometimes it pays to procrastinate.
Comments, Thoughts, and Feedback
Mindy,
I let my subscrption lapse too..Sometimes their articles seem to be geared towards people building new-old houses. I remember thumbing through the last couple issues thinking, where are the OLD houses?
I haven’t got the $10 offer yet. I think I threw something away from them the other day…rats…
I *am* super excited about my “Old House Journal” subscription my cousin gave me for Christmas..yay!
I DID come across the flat roof building feature recently and thought it would come in handy if we ever put out porch back on..it -had- a flat roof…which probably wasn’t maintained properly and is why it got torn off.
Hope you are well…
Ooo, if you go back to a flat roof you can add cresting around the edges. Very, very stylish and appropriate for your house. Of course, if you’re like me, cresting will have to wait until after you win the lottery, or you get the big inheritance from Great Aunt Selma.
I let my TOH subscription lapse also. Too much guilt when I realized I didn’t do something exactly up to their standards and too much envy/feelings of inadequacy about things I can’t afford.
