Hey Bob C:

you might want to think about installing the chutes first as it may be difficult to get those Campbell shingles on straight working between those chutes. I think the detailing the roof instruction will work out well. Let me know what you think. Did you start the kit yet?

Beautiful work Karl! The red weathered roof offsets the driftwood walls very nicely.

Hi Bob:

Yeah I hear what you are saying. I decided to build one roof chute complete and install it and see how it came out. Here's A photo let me know what you think OK.

Hi All:

The smaller roof is finished. On to the other side.

Tremendous work, Karl. The detailed wood framing is wonderfully done and gives the impression of a very substantial industrial building. I also like the roof colors.
