an update:
the warehouse walls are glued together:
on to the tarpaper shed....
i ran into a dead end yesterday. the manual says remove 6 pieces of the 1 x 10 from bag 2 and there were only four in the bag so i emailed brett and requested he send me however many i'll need to finish the model.
i have never felt pain like that. on a scale of 1-10....it's a 12 or 13. after giving me talaudin [sic], morphine and delaudin for the pain, i was finally able to produce a urine sample and they sent me home with three prescriptions. hoping to pass the little bugger tonight.
what a day.....
i'll try to get pix of the entire shed weathered and glued tomorrow night.
I believe someone else here can attest to that!!!
And its not me!!
By the way Kevin your doing a beautiful job.

i thought i would describe how the boards on the front wall got their color:
after graining they were stained with silverwood stain from bis. once that dried i added knotholes and saw banding and hit it with the silverwood again. in my opinion, that dried too blue, so i dry brushed some gray (2 different shades) chalk on the boards. still wasn't thrilled with the color, so i scraped some of the lighter of the two wood colors (i can't give the number because the paper wrap is gone) and washed that in with alcohol and let it dry.
