Well done Kevin, can't wait to see all the details once this thing is "planted"!

kebmo

office roof is shingled. after the ridge cap and rafter tails are finished, i'll epoxy it to the stone walls.

i know some guys like to lift a few shingles, but i don't think its really prototypical and if overdone (as it often is) looks a bit cartoonish, so i won't be lifting any (purposely anyway...), but i am going to try to lighten it up a bit by drybrushing some grays on it. i think it came out a bit dark overall.

Kevin. Leave it alone it looks real good. .......Carl.......

Joel

Kevin, great job on that roof. Looks beautiful. I agree about the bent shingles, often overdone.

brownbr

I like the roof.

Robert.G

I agree with Carl, leave it. When final assembly and placed in situ, perhaps some moss here and there..

kebmo

thanks all. i'll be leaving it alone.

Kevin,

Well done. Glad you'll be keeping the roof as shown in your photo. Looks very natural to me. I am also in the camp of not lifting shingles. As Robert mentioned a bit of moss would be a nice addition.

Geezerbill

Very nice shingle job Kevin. Love the color. Really nice.

Kevin, color is great. There is enough texture to the roof that you don't need to lift any shingles. I agree it often is overdone.

KKarns

Very nicely done Kevin.

kebmo

well thanks everyone.
