Thanks Tom, I was hoping they would.

starting on the roofing using Rusty Stumps octagon cut shingles. Haven't used this style before so I thought I would give them a try.

Hi Andy:

That's coming along nicely so far. Colors are very nice. Windows & really make it. I also like the stone foundation. What is it made of?

Finished the front half of the roof. Next to build the back dormer before doing the rest.

I have the dormer built and added it to the roof. Now a coat of paint and I can get back to roofing.

Hi Andy,

Your house is coming along very nicely.

Thanks for stopping by Steve.

Dormer has been painted and the roof shingled. Also have the dormer roof cut. The notch is for the chimney. Now some paint under the eaves then more shingling.

Your build is going along nicely.  Does the material from Micro-Mart that you used for the foundation come pre colored?

Yes John, it is really a photo of a real stone wall scaled to HO. then they emboss it so it has texture.

It sure looks good in the pictures. I just added it to my buy list to give it a try.
