Hey Dave:

Yeah. I was a painter in my younger days and I don't think I ever saw the situation Dave is talking about but as I said I'm looking around for a Proto photo. That rust becomes part of the corrugated roofing and I don't think water could wash it off. And it probably wouldn't chip either. But as I said I'm riding the allies in town looking for an example.

As long as you didn't have to go paint the roof :-)  My brother (the carpenter) hated doing roofing!

Thinking more, I can see how metal roofing might rust differently than wood roofing weathers, because the rust is more due to humidity than to direct application of sun and rain.

Karl, that is looking sharp. Nice job.

Hi Dave:

I looked up rust and it is a chemical reaction caused by oxidation.

Looks great, Karl. I really love the wood shake roof rather than the board and batten roof on George's demo model. I definitely want to do that when I get around to building mine.

What did you do to weather the dock -- is that just inkahol or did you do something else? Looks like some brown in there as well as the usual grayish tint.

Hi Vince:

Glad you like the roof. The bottom boards are gray. The deck boards are A&I only. Thanks for the compliment.

The front of the building is done. Have a staircase to build on the rear wall then I will install on the 24 X 18 base.
