Very nice little house, Mike. You nailed the coloring on the roof.

I made a gable trim, and the finial is actually a toothpick.
For the roof I wanted a slightly different look, so I did shingles again, but have also added tar paper as well, to look like a repair.
And here's how it looks when attached to the main structure. I've also temporarily added some windows. I usually don't add my windows till last so I don't get any paint on the glass.
It's fascinating to watch your building grow, Rob.

The sand bin portion of my Sand House build is quickly coming together. I added a wood base and rail sections as internal braces. Both recommended in the instructions, but not included with the kit.
Thanks George and Bruce it has taken a long time for me to get where I'm happy with my metal roofs.
George your covered open area is really looking great. I really like what your doing with the shingles. The tar paper patch work looks great. I like your idea of using a toothpick for the finial.
Bruce the sand bin looks great. I like the color of the wood looks great.
The Campbell Sand House kit is really comprised of three distinct 'structures'. The first, the sand bin, is done. I'm now working on the second, the drying house.
