[Cz-L] Houses with shingles.

  Rural Bukovina with houses made of wood.
   Roofs covered with straw or other stuff.
    In Czernowitz roofs were all made out of tin.
     Except a few fancy villas that had shingles on their roofs.
      In german they called it Schiefer and used it in school for
       practicing the writing and you wrote on it with a Griffel
        which was a hard mineral and made a shrieking noise
        when writing.
           These shingle roofs were hard to lay and if one shingle
         went to pieces you had to re-lay the ganze shebung.
        
            ( Since I joined the Ehpes my English improved to the extreme.)
