You definitely deserve one of these .
Those tiles bring back memory's of a project I did a long time ago, where I made 2800 of them,
hopefully you don't have to make that many .

Definatly counts as riveted :nodssagely:

Really Vik that is exceptionally cool best of luck painting it

Have you thought of wood stains? Shingles tend to grey and depending on the age and facing you could even get some moss effects in.

concering fast food...we´ve been to burger king today... the kids was promised that we would visit MCD but the restaurant was closed (unknown cause...) thus we ruined our stomachs at BK...and boy...was it ´orrible...

i haven´t had the chance to think about the painting yet in earnest... that will have to wait till it´s done...^^

but speaking of what has been done...:

first side done...:



front view...:



sadly the pics of my other sideproject haven´t uploaded correctly... thus i will show you these tomorrow...

question... as you see of the front view...there is a serious insulation problem between ribs and shingles...what am i about to do on that issue?...

cheers, vik

Mostly, on my phone.

I would say that big gaps are not incompatible with the building - leaky, drafty, rickety old place. Unless it's an actual structural concern.

Leave as is, or put a facia on it as you would a real house, but I agree it does not need it , but rather gains from the look it has right now.

The house looks really nice. Especially the roof and with some paint and appropriate weathering it will be simply amazing I think.

Yeah, kinda like that guy that owns a truck and is aleays asked to moveeverybody elses stuff.

Now when anyone needs a roof tiled it'll be "Hey, Vik, can you come over for a while?"
