A 560-square-foot Brandon rooftop is lined with cedar shingles. The shingles were cut from old hydro poles, after the homeowner put out a request to Neil Friesen, a woodworker out of Wawanesa who repurposes poles for artisan projects. The homeowner told the Sun he had to twist some arms to get the project taken up, as the shingles take a long time to cut. (Connor McDowell/Brandon Sun)
