Months in the Making: Our Japanese Wood Cedar Shake Roof! 

Guys!! We've been trying to get to this point in the shed build for what feels like months! We're on to the second roof!! This is a cedar shake roof that we install ourselves (always diy when we can) - we have a fun time installing it, and the overall project goes surprisingly fast. We'd love to hear your thoughts - what do you think about our shake roof? See any mistakes we made?
Cedar, with its deep roots in Japanese architecture, symbolizes not only endurance but also the natural beauty that has captured our hearts. We're paying a joyful tribute to this tradition as we lovingly craft and install each cedar shake. Watch in awe as these cedar shakes gracefully find their place, seamlessly blending modern construction techniques with timeless Japanese design principles.
At Building Modern, we're more than just a DIY couple; we're passionate creators devoted to the art of craftsmanship. This project embodies hours of dedication, teamwork, and a shared vision of merging contemporary living with the beauty of traditional aesthetics. 🪚🌿
