I’m so excited I can now move on to the pop out windows which will be in the open triangle spaces below the upper roof. After that I will put in the large triangle windows for the loft area on all four sides of the building. Working on construction in my life reminds me of … More Finally got all the shingles on the fancy roof.
I love working on the details of this fancy little roof. This is never boring. My sister Cheryl designed this tiny studio in the corner of my backyard.
