After gluing all the walls together, I added the roof peaks and roof top. The roof top is the small horizontal board glued between the three peaked roof sections.





Continued in a few.

I then test fit the small roof over the bay area.



It was a very tight fit and the roof card wouldn't lay flat. So, I trimmed a few pieces off until I had a nice fit but not snug.

I noticed that no bracing is recommended to support this small roof section. Yep, I added some scrap 12x12's to the other three sides. The ones I added are not painted black.



Now I have roof supports/braces.

This small little sub structure fits on this small roof. Neither the roof card nor the small structure is glued in place at this time.



I still need to weather this small sub structure.

I also test fit the main roof card to the roof. I noticed there was very little area for gluing the end. I added two short 12x12's to the upper inside of this wall area for a better gluing surface for the left roof area.





The roof fits perfectly. Not because I added the extra brace but because Doug did a wonderful job on laser cutting the roof panel.

I used Floquil CN Gray and dry brushed the bay screen doors and the main structure. I also installed the screen doors as seen in the below photo.





Done for now.
