I also finished the small side garage. The four walls were glued together and the windows and door frame were installed.

The main garage door is one from Tichy.

I used a new #11 blade and removed the double bay doors.



I then scored the doors down the middle, made a cautious bend and broke them in half.

I used 1/16" plywood and made a pattern to represent a concrete floor for the garage. I painted the floor with Floquil Aged concrete.

In this photo you can see the two bay doors in place, not glued yet, but painted.



The door and windows still need to be dry brushed and weathered.

The floor was glued in place. I used Floquil Pine Tar Oil for the stain on the floor. This is from one of Floquil Marine colors.

I noticed after gluing on the roof there was a very slight bend in the short wall above the roof line.

I used a small Quick Grip to hold the roof and wall in alignment while the glue dried.



Luckily, no rafter tails were broken with the Quick Grip.

Curt,

Thank you as always, much appreciate you following. There is much more to go on this one prior to the start of another. The "other" is one I'm anxious to get going on so I'm trying to finish this one. Hopefully, I'll have it done by the week end, meaning Sunday at the latest.

I finished all the roof panels including exterior rafters and 96 rafter tails. I still need to add more signs and roll on the rolled roofing material.

This morning I cut holes in the left roof panel for the TIRES sign. Once the rolled roofing is on, the sign will be glued in place along with more diagonal bracing for sign support.



The middle roof panel was next. Once glued in place I used the squares to hold it as the glue dried.

I then glued on the end exterior rafters. Once these were dry. I trimmed them along with the rafter tails.



The second story roof was the last one to do on the main structure.

As you can see below, I glued the rafters tails in place prior to gluing on the roof. Adding the rafter tails here is much easier than attempting the job once the roof is glued on. The exterior rafters will be glued after the roof in secure.

Notice the rafter tail are longer than the others. These will be trimmed after the roof has been glued in place.

The roof is glued in place and you can see the rafter tails.

Not shown here is the fact I added the end exterior rafters to the roof panel. I then trimmed all the rafter tails and end rafters.
