In Chiloé Island, Chile, traditional houses are entirely covered in wood tiles, measuring aroung 60x10 cm each (aprox. 24x4"). Originally all tiles were straight, but each owner tried to make his home unique by cutting the tiles in different shapes. Different styles emerged, and when shapes alone were not enough, owners started to combine, arrange and paint to create unique styles. The result is a immense variety of wood tiling.
In this collection I tried to show a selection of wood tilings, and I also tried to create a coding for identifying unique tiles and arrangements.

Close up of the tiles on the Whitley memorial.
Sarah and Joseph Whitley were the first ever people "filmed" for moving pictures in the world.
Louis Le Prince was their son-in-law and his first film, according to his son Alphonse before even the famous Leeds Bridge sequence, was of a family gathering at Oakwood Grange in Roundhay on October 14 1888.
The two-second sequence was shot on a 2 1/8 inch wide paper roll, filmed at 10-12 frames per second. Only photographic copies of parts of the filmstrip exist today.
It shows the Whitley's, plus Le Prince's sone and the Whitley's daughter, walking in the garden at Oakwood Grange. (The Grange is now gone, replaced by a housing estate.)
The film can be quite accurately dated as Sarah Whitley, Le Prince's mother-in-law, died on 24 October 1888 ten days after the filming.

The Internet Movie Database record for this film can be seen at: www.imdb.com/title/tt0392728/
Le Prince developed his camera in his workshop at 160 Woodhouse, until recently the BBC offices in Leeds.

The Roundhay Graden Scene was found in one of the cameras, a Mark 2, after Le Prince disappeared in France in 1890 on the eve of his first public demonstration of his invention. Two other films were also found in the camera at the time, the Leeds Bridge Scene and The Accordion Player, thought to his son Alphonse.

Ron & Daniel decided to put a door at the bottom of the staircase that led out of kitchen. They didn't want to wall up the space above the door (because it would make it harder to move furniture up & down) so they made this spiffy removable panel to go over the top.

Tiles or metal roofs? If you have larger budget you can decide to install tiles or metal roof. Tiles have very low absorption and very high strenght that provides higher resistance to mildew and staining caused by environmental factors.
Metal roof is the most expensive choice but it is also the most durable and trouble free available roof today.
