Leaf Roof Atlantic Coast

Somebody asked about leaf roofs somewhere on the Pacific.

Leaf roofs exist all over the Atlantic Coast of Nicaragua.

I don't like these roofs because my hobby is adversely affected.

And zinc?

Submitted by Former NL Member on 26 July, 2006 - 12:55.

How long does zinc last, and how much more does zinc cost than palm? Can you buy zinc any time, or do you have to wait for a full moon?

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale,

Submitted by Che Guevara on 26 July, 2006 - 14:29.

a tale of a fateful trip. That started from this tropic port, aboard this tiny ship. The mate was a mighty sailin' man, the skipper brave and sure. Five passengers set sail that day, for a three hour tour, a three hour tour……… The weather started getting rough, the tiny ship was tossed. If not for the courage of the fearless crew, the Minnow would be lost; the Minnow would be lost. The ship took ground on the shore of this uncharted desert isle, with Gilligan, the Skipper too, the Millionaire, and his Wife, the Movie Star, the Professor and Mary Ann, here on Gilligan's Isle. So this is the tale of our castaways, they're here for a long, long time. They'll have to make the best of things, it's an uphill climb. The first mate and his skipper too, will do their very best, to make the others comfortable, in the tropic island nest. No phones, no lights, no motor cars, not a single luxury. Like Robinson Crusoe, it's primitive as can be. So join us here each week my friend, you're sure to get a smile. From seven stranded Castaways, Here on Gilligan's Isle.

those houses are beautiful. but they remind me, no insult, of gilligans' island.

I thought we went over this before

the Atlantic coast IS Gilligans Island, and FYL is the professor, and MA drinks FDC out of cocanut shells while watching the zinc rust or the Popta roofs rot, either one requires extreme caution so your eyes dont cross.

MA is more like Thurston Howell in the fifth or something like that.

And NO I am NOT that idiot Gilligan, I lie to much.

Where is this and tell me something about the construction of this house. It looks great!

Location?

Submitted by Miskito Alan on 25 July, 2006 - 22:12.

This particular house is constructed on one of the rivers outside of Puerto Cabezas/Bilwi (America) and is very pretty with the leaf and the bamboo usage.

These houses are very cool and offer great protection from the elements and the critters.

Critters do get inside the roof but these are no problem as long as they don't bite you...
