Wow it's been some time since I posted.
But with my fingers being numb!!
I have my surgery on the 23 of August. Thank God.


This is my first time with metal roof panels so comments are welcomed.
Don't worry I have thick skin so please offer suggestions!

For a first effort, I think those panels look great!

Thanks Craig it's a appreciated.


I think I made it to monochromatic though.
[/size]Well hopefully lesson  learned the next one should be better.

One way of avoiding any similarity between the panels is to divide them into three (or more) separate batches. One receives a heavy paint treatment, medium and light... and so on.

Still, I think you've done well as the roof doesn't draw attention to itself. My eye stays on that awesome interior.

Jerry, the corrugated iron look good and is convincing.  It matches the oldness of the rest of the mill.  Nice job as usual.

Thanks for the input Craig I see what you mean.  And a great idea on how to do it thanks again.

I agree with others.  Seems to me that corrugated (iron or zinc) roofs have 4 states:  brand new, slight staining, patchy, and uniform rust.  You've captured that Stage 4 look just fine!

The rafters you will never see again after the roof is on!!
The second removable roof!!

But its worth the effort!

Jerry,

I think the rafters look great, tedious work but much needed process to provide for a sturdy roof.
That's a lot of panels to glue fown, but will be a showstopper when completed. Nice work.
