I rounded the top using an Emory board. I added the mortar paint and brick color.

Oh, yea, be very careful in the chimney cutting.

Back in a few.

The one on the left is better than the right. The one on the left had the bricks laser cut in. Not so on the one on the right.

Now both chimneys match what is in the photo.

Tom, there are many paint colors to try for bricks, I don't think blood is one of them.

Let's be more careful.

Greg,

Calling 911 wasn't necessary, THIS TIME. I learnt (sic) myself to apply band aids at a very early age. As soon as I had my first #11 blade knife, I became a member in good standing of the #11 Club.

You already know I'm the founding member and CEO of the Bunring LED's by Slim Club.

Dr. Jeff, good one sir. I was just trying something different.

It always happens when we say, "Your going to cut yourself if you hold it this way".

However, it didn't stop me from holding it that way. Maybe it's my thought process that needs sharpening.

Good to know you're not stalled and able to keep up your "Greg Speed" empire building.....

Most excellent idea modifying the chimneys Tom. Really looking good.

I started work on the roof and it was more fun than I expected. Meaning only that doing roofs is my least favorite part of any build.

I took the roof sheet supplied with the kit and sprayed it with Rust-Oleum Auto Primer Gray.

When dry, I cut the paper per the instructions.

I've used transfer tape in the past and found that it doesn't do as well as my method. The transfer tape when the backing is removed, doesn't always leave the sticky tape on the roof deck.

I prefer to use a fresh stick of Elmer's Glue. I got this at Staples and have used it several times with no drying of the glue in the tube. I get the school three pack for a few $$.
