Your comment on code is well taken and I think you have done a lot of good looking work to save that old house. A beautiful setting BTW!
My comment was not code related, I guess, I just remember talking to a fireman who said it is close to impossible to extinguish a blaze in the rafters without tearing up the tin roof.

Again, you did a nice looking job on that old house. Leo
