Larry,

As others have stated, the valance looks perfect for the front.

Absolutely a fantastic build my friend.

Onwards and literally upwards:



When I was looking at the ends of the Shop, after adding the 6x12's to tie in the top, they looked unfinished to me. To remedy that I decided to extend the siding on the end rafters to hang down 6 inches below the bottom of the rafters to cover this; of course shown is the back of the rafter which will never be seen again when the roof is finished.



So here's the look I was going for by extending the siding down the 6 scale inches; a nice finished look. As of now the end rafter is just sitting there and not glued in just yet.



Here's a photo with both end rafters built and installed. Used one of my drafting triangles set against the end of the Shop to make sure the rafters were plumb with the ends. Before gluing in the last end rafter I grabbed a length of scale 3x12 to make sure the peaks and the ends lined up straight. I'll be building three more rafters from my build sheet. One for the middle of the Shop with the other two splitting the space between the ends and the middle rafters.

In between building the last 3 rafters I have a few details I ordered from SW for the inside; also I need to paint a LP to place in front of the workbench on the back wall before any more rafters are installed. As always thanks for stopping by and for all your great comments and/or suggestions; they do help.

Larry, good solution to hiding the beams.
The painting and weathering on the walls is very good.
