It’s been a while getting the shop cleared out for room to work on this, but I decided that it was time to start this project. I needed to strip the roof of the tar paper shingling that fell apart almost as soon as I put the station outside.
With the old out of the way it was time to assess the damage done. I found that the edge spacers I had applied had come loose as had a good portion of the wood trim. The main roof structure is in decent shape as I used aluminum coil stock for it’s base. So other than tightening that up here and there, I re-cut some larger spacers for the entire edge line.
Next was to cut new trim pieces from heavy plastic and get those painted while I worked on securing the main roof sections
Once painted and with the main roof tightened up I installed the fascia pieces with 3M glue and clamps
Once the edge was finished I was able to turn the roof right side up and start on the smaller dormer and end fascia pieces
I’m getting to this as life permits so I should be a bit getting done. I plan on using large sections of roll roofing on it this time, because I don’t want to cut all the tabs I needed on the original build
