    sleeping for 20 out of 24 hours can really jazz up a fellas sleep cycle. last night i went downstairs at around 11:30 and finished the first roof panel (and woke up at 5....). i won't do anything more to it until it's time to put it on the structure. still haven't figured out what i'm gonna do about the lighting, but i have an idea.
    the dark spot on far left corrugated is just unevaporated alcohol.

    Thats a fantastic looking roof panel kevin. The board colours and variation look great and the knots in the boards were definitely worth the extra effort.
    The sign patch is a great addition and once the panel is installed and they are all blended together it will be even more superb.
    Well done.

    Very nice. It's going to look great when you get it installed

    a couple saturdays ago the wife and i bought a new car, a hybrid from kia. we're getting 49.1 mpg with it and we absolutely love driving it. in case anybody's in the market, check out the kia niro. they have a hybrid version, a plug in hybrid version, and an all electric version.
    nice vehicle.

    logging shed roofs are finished for now. once installed i'll add dust and leaf debris, and maybe some rust streaks.

    thanks terry. i forgot to do something...one side has nail holes on the battens. i need to do the same on the other side. they're both spending the night under the irons. i'll do it tomorrow. i guess i'm at the point where i need to shit or get off the pot with regards to the lighting. well i will be once i finish the tractor repair roofs.

    Great work Kevin. Roof is going to look terrific installed.

    Great mix of patches on the roof.

    Looks great Kev, the grey colouring, variations and knots throughout look just right.
    I obviously like the SWSM sign incorporated and the slightly browner batten on the left tells the story of a replaced board, but some time ago, it all blends very nicely.

    A very good look overall, well done.

    ken, brian and karl,
    thanks gents. this coming from you guys is cool.....
  • ALCOALCO
    Those roofs look like crap…Congratulations! Great job!
  • TomMich
    Nice job on the roofs. Like the variety of materials. It really adds interest.
  • kebmokebmo
    thanks alco and tom.. i ran out of the 2x10s need for the roof base, so my ssa comes wednesday and i'll have to order some from northwest. i'm officially on hold for a bit.
  • randyprandyp
    Looks great Kevin. I count six different materials on your roof. Great job of mixing up the look of the roof. Just getting back to the computer today. I have not been on the computer sense Thursday because of cataract surgery. like the roof. Randy
  • kebmokebmo
    thanks randy.

    i'm calling the roofs finished, at least for now. i added 20 more drops of white shoe dye to my silverwood mixture in hopes of getting a lighter gray tone on the roofs, but i didn't really notice a big difference. i'm gonna dry brush light gray on the battens, and after that i'll call 'em done at least until i install them on the structure.
    finished roofs

    and here they are drybrushed.


    now i move on to the part i've been dreading; the lights.i can't install the trusses until i get the lighting worked out.finished roofs drybrushed

    and here's one more with a little less glare from the light.

    finished less glare
  • KKarnsKKarns
    Nice work Kevin. I'm with you on the lighting...one of my least favorite things to do!
  • Karl.AKarl.A
    Vice variation on the grey tones and a pleasant colour overall. The last pic really comes to life.
