I suspect it'll look OK, maybe a bit bright - but then again, all LEGO
colors tend to be 'a bit bright' so it ought to be OK. Besides, LEGO hay
has traditionally been yellow in all the old castle sets. 8)

Actually, I was thinking of using 2x4 bricks and such, so that you'd still
have the studs on top of the roof. It'd be a very thick thatched roof,
but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
Alsao, if you find yourself with a completed house and not enough plates
to roof it, you could always put on part of a roof, and have a couple of
minifigs working on laying down new thatch. 8)
