GROW YOUR OWN ROOF: How to make nipa roofing

While in Bojo, I was able to see how they prepare the nipa roofing material to repair the base camp.
Step one: Go to the nipa grove and cut some palms. Do not thin out the plant. Gather one or two palms per tree.



Step two: Remove the palm leaves individually.

Step 3: Fold the leaves and sew in the middle.

 Step 4: Put a piece of bamboo and rock to keep the leaves in place while folded.
Step 5: Let the nipa dry

Step 6: Repeat until you have enough for your needs. Ready for installation.
Step 7: No need to buy or go to the hardware. Find friend or family member who can help you install your roof.
WARNING: YOU CAN TRY THIS AT HOME, YOU MAY BE CONVINCED THAT YOU CAN GROW YOUR OWN ROOF!!!
