In the metal cladding & roofing business, copper fasteners, flashing components and gutters cannot be used with cedar shake shingles because the tannins in the cedar will attack the copper. Nice blog BTW. Got a link here from Brick House because of your FLW Ennis House post. Not sure where you go in Iowa but I get to Cedar Rapids once or twice a month for work. Hit Ottumwa recently for the Louis Sullivan bank. . .

I love the way he describes them as earth like and that each one is unique, it adds to the human aspect of the cans...Love, Jules These look so amazing, at first I thought painted cans, then moldy cans of old old food, but human remains did not cross my mind.
