    Share Share Post
    Thatching is done in this district. First the oats is threshed and made into bundles. Then the bundles are drawn and straightened. The ladder is then placed up against the thatch of the roof. Some of the old thatch is pulled off. The thatch is put on in strikes. The thatcher starts thatching at the bottom and finishes at the top. Scollops
