Let me know if you like this! ❤️ It’s Sunday, so let’s have some traditional thatched roofing ASMR! What incredible skills to keep cottages looking beautiful. Reel by @thethatchingguy
I’ve mentioned previously how a thatch roof today is a sign of wealth and prosperity - but hundreds of years ago it was a sign you were a bit skint (translation: poor) After all, the fancy pants folk had moved on to tiles and here you are still fighting with the swans in the pond for the reeds!
These days, a complete re-thatch could cost up to £25,000 (around $33,000) and there are about 800 “Master Thatchers” in the UK, to service between 55,000 and 60,000 thatched houses.
This is @timholt wishing you a peaceful Sunday! 🇬🇧
