Visual Roof InspectionAs long as there is none of the foil insulation which adheres to, and is installed at the same time the cement tiles are installed, the roof can be inspected visually during rain storms for leaks. If the foil has been applied any roof leaks will be much harder to find and repair. dozer (1 votes)

Example Roof TrussA roof truss from a different project. We will be using a modification of this with a 'm' truss design. The shot is notable, because normally a 'truss' system is not used here. With foundation columns and internal walls, the roof structure is normally dependent on being able to be supported within the house boundaries, ie not a truss.
