Thatch


This is a Skill


A subskill of construction which is used in the making of thatch-roofed buildings.

Thatching is the construction of a roof using straw. The straw is tightly interlaced in such a way to keep out rain and snow, and keep in heat. It was a uniquely northern European custom that made even the crudest dwellings liveable in the winter.
