That building is looking good. Will you put doors on the shed? Will you still be sticking the car port on the side like in the original sketch? Keep up the good work.

Lowes here stop caring the stone tile now
I had that issue. The lowes I normal use in PA does not have them. But the next close Lowes has them. Funny how each Lowes can be different. Thats like I hear a lot of people saying the spruces are on sale for end of season. Around here they dont go on sale. They reuse them for the next season.
Jon the stone is great. Cant wait to make some retaining walls with it
I found that out too. They had them on their closeout rack. So I bought all they had left as I have some plans for some other buildings.
Shawn, engine house is looking great… 
Very nice solid structure. Should hold up well in all your snow.

Thanks guys.
Todd just finished the doors yesterday. The last step will be the car port on the side. My goal is to have it done in the next week. I plan on getting the windows in over next few days and cut some planks for the roof.
Nice looking build Shawn. And are you detailing the interior ?
Bart & Shawn, I use Apple Barrel outside and as long as I keep a clear coat on it it doesn’t seem to fade. I clear coat my buildings every year with a UV resistant non yellowing spray. Usually either Rustoleum or krylon.

Im going to add a few things inside but not going crazy.
Window sgot put in and the door finished last week. The roof was finished today. I had a hard time deciding on what to do for a roof. (I hate doing a roof with all the angles etc… I got very good at hiding my mistakes haha) At first I was going to go with the al. corregated roof that i used on my old engine house but was not sure if I had enough. Then I thought about using my famouse old rusty barn roof metal but I didnt have enough. Have to wait till the snow melts to get more. Finally I decided I was going to do an all wood roof. It prob fits the backwoods theme better. Eventually I might add the rusty metal roof but for now the wood stays.
I still need to add some details to the outside and the car port. I also have to put my lighting inside and maybe do something outside. I was thinking about detailing the inside but now that the roof is on nothing would be seen except up in the front area. Here it is so far. Not perfect but I think it will add to my backwoods charm I hope.

Shawn,awsome job. Regards, Ron
Love it!!! I need a 3 some of them… I really like the doors and stone work. Going to let it weather on it’s own or a touch of oldness coming up?
Looks good Shawn. I think the wood roof works real well. Heck, you might find that the wood roof stays and you never put that metal roof on. The rock work came out real good.
You work a lot faster than I do. I started before you did on my Grist Mill and it still isnt done!!
Great looking Engine house Shawn. You need to teach me.
That came out really nice. Inspired by your rock work I went to Lowes to check out what they had. Decided to spend $20 something on a couple of 12x12 sheets. Then the wife found a kitchen faucet to replace the leaky and temperamental one we have. By the time we left my $20 became $150 and I need to go back and get the coupling hoses I forgot.
So you are either the inspiration for my next rock foundation building; or the blame for spending too much and having another Honey Do on my list.
Shawn, wonderful job… looks great… Nice addition to your railroad…
Two thumbs up…nice job!
Shawn,
The engine house looks great! Nice work!!
It should fit “The Backwoods” very well.
WOW that is very nice!! I like the wood roof also. I am enjoying your builds and I am following your lead on backwoods wood logging buildings.
I also have been using your Thompson’s soaking religiously every 6-12 months on my wooden creations. So far they are holding up.
Thanks for being an Appalachian Log bustin and timber building pioneer.

Shawn that came out great. I like the door closer. The only thing more realistic would have been two lengths of lumber wedged between the ground and the doors
