Thatch-Happy

Just came across this post on the Irish Fireside Blog.

A pub in Denville, New Jersey is building a traditional thatched roof! There's a nice article in NJ.com about the process of thatching the roof, as well as some great photos as well.

I wonder what it will look like when it's done!

Maybe like this?

I just hope it doesn't end up looking like this...
