I cut the lower roof deck from a piece of stock cardboard. I decided to have this roof removable. I marked on the bottom where I wanted bracing.

This also gives me the location of the exterior rafters and rafter tails location.




I cut some 10X10s for bracing and glued them in place.



This roof now fits snug on the building.

More in a few.

After doing all the measuring, fitting and gluing, I realized this roof will have a dormer so it WILL NOT be removable.



Well, the roof fits nice anyway. DOH!

Dick,

The compliment is very much appreciated, thank you. Just the other day my Babe said, "When are you going to grow up" or it could have been "Are you ever going to grow up"? :-X

My answer, "Never". 8) 8)


I hear but I don't always listen. :-\

I added two 12 x 12s to the top side of the main gabled roof. I turned it on the side and placed a weight on it to dry overnight. The weight keeps the walls flat while drying as opposed to a mini-clamp.

I've had a building or two, where the gable dried at a slight angle from the weight of the clamp hanging off to the side.

I then painted some 6X6s Aged Concrete and glued them to the bottom of the building and sub assemblies. This gives me a base to get the scenery next to the structure without gluing the scenery to the bottom of the walls.

I then cut a rear gabled end for the dormer. I used the dormer and traced the front on a spare piece of siding.





The rear piece is to wide to fit in the rear. I needed to trim the sides to fit between the walls. I used a spare piece of siding and drew a line on each side of the end piece. I cut the extra siding off using the pencil line as a guide.

The end piece was glued in place.

I then moved to the roof for the dormer and main roof section. I had no idea how to cut this so I used the "tried and true" method of "trial and error".

I cut the roof panel back flush to the wall.



Cut and fit, cut and fit and cut and fit. No this doesn't work.
