Thatching is an art form. and a thatcher works for many years as an apprentice before ever earning the title of a thatcher. He or she is a craftsmen of the highest order. For me a stucco home with a thatched roof is home. It brings me back to my roots and everything that is important, the fact that I come from the type of family, building, and country that is humble and beautiful. Thus I give you a thatchers life dedicated to my brother Kavin for he is a thatcher.
