Had a mammoth corrugated iron making session this afternoon and managed to get all the goods shed roof done. The gaps are for skylights, likely to be corrugated glazing (I think). Ridges, bargeboards gutters and down pipes to fit next.

Nice work - it already looks good, but it's going to look great when it's finished.

You may be amazed Steve at how many young [and not so young] “apprentices” you have. R-

He looked even more like you Steve. Uncanny.

I certainly needed to feel the force with all those corrugated panels. Thank you Master :D

BBQ ashes put to good use; sieved and glued with the usual PVA and water mixture.

First wash of artists acrylic paint applied but then decided to step away rather than overwork it. Will probably apply further washes. The goods shed is just ‘plonked’. Shed and yard lighting is yet to be fixed and the shed finished off, doors, guttering and gable end barge boards.

I like that, has a grubby appearance. Having said that I hope that is what you are aiming for.
