[Cob] roofing idea

[Charmaine Taylor]

Caroline --Roofing with the 1time use aluminum plates printers throw 
away has been suggested, as are flipping the used liscense plates over 
to the silver side and nailing them up.  Dan  Phillips, a creative 
builder in TX uses  them as siding,   www.phoenixcommotion.com

and I have seen images of them used as siding also in the book Rural 
Studio by Sam Mockabee.
