What the heck is making these holes?

Looks nice but what's up with the ridge cap?

Well, we will probably never heat the place, but it doesn’t hurt to have a place for the summer attic heat to escape to, so that the shingles don’t get so hot.

But what's up with it being two caps with a gap in the middle, rather than one continues cap?

And not to pile on but, it looks like a kink in the roof above the front door?

LOL, I bet the flooring was made from used pallets that were in all those fields in another forum.

Re cycling is great especially when it gets moved from forum to forum , LOL.

Bet the pallets were attacked by woodpeckers B4 being used as flooring!

LOL, indeed! I knew it would only be a matter of time before pallets arrived on the scene. In fact there are two or three pallets stored inside that barn. And I don’t know where they came from!

My, aren’t we perceptive? The “gap” is where another roof joins on, running perpendicular to the main cottage.

There is more than a few kinks in that place!

That makes sense. My question wasn't meant to be critical.

No problem. I sometimes forget myself, and on a few occasions I have looked up and thought “ What the heck? Why didn’t that crazy roofer finish the job?” LOL

And are you going to demolish that hideous wooden deck in the picture? Looks like even the vegetation is trying to do its best to hide it!!

Seriously, I think it has termites. It looked whole when I first looked at the picture. But I looked at the picture again, and it appears some of it has now been eaten away just in the short time since I first saw it. I can check the picture again in another week and report back if that helps!
