I finally got my engine house done since starting this project before X-mas. I just built a very simple one stall engine house. I used some tin for the roof and spray painted it with krylon rudy brown and a light spray of camo brown. Once it weathers on its own it should look great. Now I just have to wait for this snow to melt so I can add another siding to the house.
Pretty good Shawn 
How bout some cornstruction pics? You know Ralphs’ a little particular about photos!
We all love photos!
Nice engine house, Shawn
Looks good Shawn.
Are you using anything to preserve or seal the wood?

Ralph Berg said:I will use Thompson water seal after it sits out for a while and weathers nice. Then I put it on. I found it takes longer to get that weathered color if I put the seal on after construction. Plus I use cedar wich holds up fairly well outdoors.
Looks good Shawn. Are you using anything to preserve or seal the wood? Ralph
That looks great, Shawn!
Looks good Shawn and I agree let it weather till the point you like and then apply an oil finish to it.

I totally understand!! It’s very difficult for me to stop and snap shots at times however very rewarding a year later looking back at those shots thinking “OK now I remember that’s how I made it”!! Actually the new codes officer is kinda a grouchy prick at times but I understand he takes cash under the table too turn a blind eye!
