Looking for progress here
Need a wall vent to allow the attic heat to escape, these are some of the parts for the vent. The parts all snap together to ensure a much better fit and a secure bonding. When the joints have tounge and groove joints, this process make real strong joints.
The slats are held in place with two tennons on each end with glue.
This picture shows the vent assembled with the first frame on the outside
Before I cut the wood siding and maybe mess up a piece that required alot of time to make, I use a 110 lb paper to cut a sample piece to see if all things fit.
The green is the test fit piece
Slab wood side has been cut and glued to the acrylic using LEXEL glue. It looks just like clear silicone caulking.
The end truss rafter has been installed with the vent and siding installed, The floor in the fore ground is where the tank will set.
The sofit has round vent holes so air can circulate through them and out the vent on the other side to help remove the heat.
Picture of the facia board and the rafters and the ridge board installed.
The ridge board really locks all the pieces in place
Here I have the roof parts of the tank laid out and taped together on the inside so when I flip it up and together it will stand up so I can install the last piece the tape
a open bucket works good to hold roof together while the glue dries
Setting in bucket
Roof on the tank
Glue spred for the next layer
Half the shingles layed up on the tank roof
Shingles made of 1/16" redwood
Tank roof layed to represent shingles replaced with metal pieces
Still have the metal strips on the tanks roof hip ridges
