Looks great Tom.

A question, when you did the second color on the walls you mentioned a way you used to mask the issue of the clapboards not lining up on the corners. Was it by using the second color on the corner strip wood as well so the lines are blended by the corner trim?

Jim,

Thank you for the compliment, much appreciated.

Since I used the bottom/lower color on the corner trim, it wasn't necessary to make that correction. If the corner trim was the top color then it would need to be matched.

Hey Tom:

Mine looks just like that when I'm building.

Karl

Karl,

It is truly a mystery, no matter how I try to keep it neat, it still turns out a mess. The good part is I know where all the items are when building.

The roof was added to the chicken shack along with front and rear exterior rafters.





After the glue on the rafters dried, they were trimmed to fit.

More in a few.

All roofs are now in place, covered with rolled roofing and ready for weathering.

DeGraw's Poultry will be located south of Tahope.

Tomorrow I'll cover the roof signage for the two structures.

Tom,
Do you have ESP?  I have the Fos DeGraw's on my workbench for my next build.  I will be placing before FSM Butcher's Way.  I will definitely be following your build...which BTW, looks great

Looking great, Tom!

Its a very interesting roof line.  The height added with the steep second story roof will help it not look dwarfed by those other large buildings in the area.

Cheers, Mark.

John,

You are very kind and generous with the compliment, thank you.

Come by when in the area. You know where I'll be most of the time.
