Re: Wood siding and metal roof

I have a permanent yurt that we are restoring. The siding on it is a more standard wood siding. The cedar sounds really nice. A little too expensive for my budget. Same with the metal roof. Because...

Re: Anyone seen this before?

Re: Anyone seen this before?

Thanks. Why do you think the ring has slipped? Do the cables stretch? We think our yurt is over 50 years old.

Re: Anyone seen this before?

Re: Anyone seen this before?

Re: Anyone seen this before?
