this is the lay out of the roofing. looking at pic four, you can see three strips, I put on the ou side strips first then cut the third strip in half and layed it back I cut the center of the front strip up to the point where it would cross the center board and overlapped the the end peices. doing this allowed me to lay the roofing flat. the back center strip only come up to the center.

I used old vinal to trim the corners and facia trim. I had forgotten to take my roofin nails so I ended up using button screws. "thats what I had. and you know I could not leave those white flags standing so I used the last of my paint to cover all the white. I had enough to paint the cut edges of the window and put a second coat on the out side of the door.

to keep this shack from flying off the tralor I used 3 1/2 inch lag bolts with fender washers one on each side of the corners and one in the center of each wall.

the sun had just set when I took these shots, I had to lighten them up a lot in order for you to be able to see the shack. in pic number three you can see that the shack disipears in to the skyline during twilight hours. the color looks black, it is actualy a realy dark green. when the leaves fall and all it left but bark this shack will be almost invisible. I guess

I forgot to take a pic of the window from the inside. I will try to remember to do that the next time I am on the island. I still have to find a rug for the inside and go back out with a jack and level the shack.
