The living roof had some leaks, probably due to the jigsaw puzzle work I did with scrap plywood. I fixed a pond liner over the plywood but there were a few low spots and water was sitting in gaps where plywood pieces weren't flush. Somehow water was finding its way through and there were a couple wet spots on the wood supports whenever it rained. I decided to strip off all the dirt, straw, and gravel and put up a new roof; I left the pond liner just to have a waterproof barrier underneath b/c the shingles aren't the best and I'm sure they're going to leak a little. After I cleared the living roof, I cut tenons into two poles and lay a beam w/ mortises on the ends across it. I built a basic 2x4 frame off of the beam and covered it with shingles. Here are some pictures of the finished roof and surrounding area.
