Darker............or lighter..........;)
The stain color is darker then the color on the main building. The stain is dark brown to almost black in color and the main building color is a gray blue color.
I'd go with that darker stain, then.................just my personal preference.

That is the way I have been leaning myself but its always nice to get input and see what others think.
thanks for your input Ken. I will have to get some pictures this weekend and get them posted.
I have the three trusses for the main building done. I still have to attach the frame 1 to the frame 2 and main building, then build the two small side buildings and get the rest of the Deck Beams on then put the decking down ect ect ect. Man there is still a lot to do.

here is a picture of the trusses. The one on the right has the siding dry fitted. still have to stain them and the siding then put them on. the next picture is just a front view with the framing for the deck and platform some what attached to it.

Thanks for the offer Ralph. I think kyou just need to wait untill I get done with the build that might be all the silly we need.

Making progress on it tho. The trusses should get done this weekend if I can stain them sunday. Was way to windy out today.

Hopefully you’ll get to paint. There’s not a leaf stirring on the High Desert.

I’m running trains today!

lucky you Doug.
It looks like I should be able to get some of the outside work done today.
Pictures to follow later.

Well got some work done today. Things have slowed as it takes a bit of time to do the detail work. here I sanded the corners so to give better detail on the siding.

then after spending a bit of time doing that I has to ask why as I think I am the only person that will ever notice it.

and here is the trusses stained and the framing getting glued up to the main building.
