Looking for tweets for wide to the weather.
hernesheir "The walls of the bungalow, previously described, are topped by an overhanging roof covered with spruce shingles, which have been dipped in oil to produce a rich, warm color, and are laid wide to the weather." --from "A Craftsman Bunglaow: Craftsman House Series of 1905, Number III", in The Craftsman, Gustav Stickley, Editor, 7:336. 1905.
"The slates themselves may be 2" or more in thickness at the eaves, and as wide as 42" anywhere on the roof proper, and still produce a pleasing appearance, granting that the slate is not laid so wide to the weather that the roof is thrown out of scale to the building it is protecting." --House and Garden, 32:33, 1917.
