[Cob] Eyebrow window with living roof...

[Yun Que]

   Cat here!
    I see no reason to let a little change like that stop you from having
   the look you want...eyebrow windows after all are not only made in
   thatched houses.  They can also be found in contemporary building.
    Their is bending ply that is available ...a bit pricy because it is
   used in cabinet construction, if you can afford it all good if not
   then look to the way boats are built.  The old wooden ones. They got
   some great water tight curves didn't they!  their you go the eyebrows
   are back in!

   PS.  Might want to do a first as a whole roof for an out house roof or
   dog shelter to get the feel for it. Stick to the actual size you will
   be using for your house.  Tighter the curve the tougher.
   for the good of all C.
