Roofing contractors from North America tour the birthplace of Welsh roofing, witnessing how slate continues covering remarkable and resilient rooftops throughout Europe
When
my good friend Bob Pringle of Evans Roofing Company, located in Elmira,
N.Y., called and invited me to join the leaders of the National Slate Association and Slate Roofing Contractors Association
on a tour of slate quarries in Wales, I had to say, “of course.”
Without any idea of what I was getting myself into, I knew enough that
the unknown was a critical element of the adventure.
