Thanks for looking in, Karl. I always check to see if you've done a kit and then use your photos for reference, as I did for this one!  :-)

[Dave K.]

Time for roofage.

[Dave K.]

One thing I appreciate about Doug's kits...nice templates. This tagboard one for the below deck supports is nice.

[Dave K.]

And now to plank the dock.

[Dave K.]

He always provides plenty of signs, as well.

[Dave K.]

Finish the decking and supports...

[Dave K.]

...and add the smoke jack.

Okay, this is where I get tense. I'm not too good at roofs (unless nice and flat, of course!). Dormers, mansards...I just don't seem to have the touch. It took me two  tries to get this one. When dissatisfied with the first attempt I cut a new one and started over. The pitch is Gallery Glass Liquid Leading.

Dave,
Looks great!  I like the way that everything blends together, the structure just looks "right" to me.  I especially like the roll roofing on the "flat" roof.  IMO, you really nailed the wear along the nailed edge. 

[Dave K.]

Thanks, Jerry. Can't go wrong with Doug's kits. They come together without a hitch.

[Dave K.]

Off to its new home...a layout in a neighboring county.

Hi Dave:

OK sounds cool. Glad you check mine out.

Cheated, Jeff. Build was done...just hadn't started thread. It is a quick little build, though.

Dave,
Great job, lots of character in a small structure.
