Added the roofs and tarpapered them, for the two extensions, and for the two enclosed exterior staircases. Still need to weather them. Added a middle vertical “plank” to each end to cover up the seams that were created when I joined the front half to the rear half. Shouldn’t point this out, while it looks a ton better than the seam, it also now shows a flaw with my weathering – you can see some… weathering on the left of the seam, which continues to the right of the seam, and it looks like the vertical plank was added years alter AFTER the (“real”) weathering of the building occurred. Ok, another lesson learned.
Still have tons left to do, I still have six barn doors to stain, and install, the celestory to build, the dormers to build, the main building roof to shingle, the dormers to shingle, the celestory (sp?) roof to shingle, and the cupola to build. Not sure what else I’m forgetting.
Hoping to complete this effort, this weekend, and then get back to a few of the buildings that have been 75-90% completed for the last couple of months – want to finish them, get them off my plate, put them into the “completed!” column. (them being: Mooney’s, McDuff’s, Fenster’s, and Ideal Hosiery – yup, I’ve got that many waiting on me to spend one more evening on each of them.)
