An authentic look of clay roof tiles

I really do like old houses and "bio" supplies for home building. I like the look and feeling that gives us wood, brick and stone for house walls. Exterior walls or inside walls. When it's time to set the material used for the roof, I would like to have corrugated roofing with the hot and tropical feeling of the clay tiles. But all these "bio" or authentic materials often cost much more than simulated ones.

So we have to shop for fake or faux materials that look the same or close to the genuine materials. Once again, you can find on the web some websites with products listing for simulated home siding and simulated roofing. I suggest you this site where I've found the new siding for my house. (www.novik.com) I have bought faux stone siding and siding accessories. For the roofing, I wanted clay roof tiles so I've got it there. I am very satisfied of the Novik products and list for you some products here:

• brick siding : brick siding
• cedar siding : cedar siding
• polymer window shutters : polymer window shutters
• clay tiles : clay tiles
• home siding : home siding
• slate roofing : slate roofing

Summer time 2008... Quebec!

As my first comment on this blog, I'll go with my summer vacation planning. Yah, I go to Quebec (the City) this summer on July. Quebec is a must go destination this year for its 400th anniversary. A lot of special activities are planned for this occasion and lot of fun to have.

I have already found my lodging. I have browsed the Internet and have found a pretty lovely cottage for rent in the nearby Quebec area. The web site I've found www.imcha.com has lot of houses, condos, apartments and cottages for vacation rental in Quebec and the Charlevoix area wich I don't really know.

When I told you "lot of activities"... Here are some of them:

Quebec 400th anniversary activities:
