Well I suppose you could argue that it looks a bit like a cherry, but the finial is finally on the top of the tower, indicating the end of the work. The zinc skirt posed a bit of a problem: the roofer took the measurements, cut the zinc cone at home and came back to fit it, but the roof isn't exactly conical, so the skirt didn't sit right. He fixed it by tracing around the edge at a fixed distance from the tile edges. I think he took a bit off the mounting wood too. But now it all looks shiny and new (and vertical). Scaffolding is now down and packed away.

Massive work for the ages.
Hi James, it should last a while. The tiles are guaranteed 50 years so should last a lot longer, and there is a double layer of wooden slats underneath thel, all on the original frame.
