A toothpick also works well when coloring individual bricks. I usually add a little water to the paint to ensure it flows properly.  Mark

Tom nice job on the rafter tails; that's the one thing I hate doing. Nice toothpick tip; say that 3 times.

Mark,

I agree, the toothpick trick works for many small projects. Since the Floquil Zinc Chromate Primer is oil based, I used thinner. Same as using water for Polly Scale.

Larry,

Thank you, much appreciate the comment and your time to stop by. I can barely say it once, let alone thrice.  ;D

I didn't get much done on this build today. I did get the canopy glued to the front.

I need to add additional weathering, the sign and canopy wire supports.

I also have the strip wood ready to stain and paint for the rear outside stairs.
