shutterbugkc Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 I know shingles aren't all that interesting, but I just felt like celebrating and shouting from the rooftops after I glued that last shingle on. I had stained all the shingles I thought I was going to need and then at the very end, I needed six more. I went ahead and glued the last six on and came back with a little brush and stained them right on the roof. It's just such a relief to be done! :lol: So, my Arthur is basicly done and I have finished off my roll of film on it. I will go get it developed TODAY and finaly post pictures!

fov Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Good job! Shingles are time intensive... it must be exciting to be all done! I look forward to seeing your pictures. I still haven't shingled the back roof on my Arthur. :lol: It looks good from the front, so why bother with the back?! I'm going to do it this week, though, because I won't let myself start on the Westville until that's done and I'm itching to get started on the Westville. I am also in the process of shingling my Fairfield... I'll be dancing when that's finished! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuttiwebgal Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 when its all done shingling gives alot of satisfaction....but frankly if I can avoid it than Im all for it!!! congrats on finishing!! cant wait to see photos! and if you noticed that we who have built the Arthur are using it as our avatars for now. I suspect I will change mine to the Glencroft should I EVER finish it! nutti :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllThingsMini Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Ugh! Shingling is the worst! It's the only thing about mini'ing that I don't like in the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minis On The Edge Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 I hate painting trim but I hate to shingle even MORE than that. We have to do the happy Dance with you!! :lol: Can't wait to see pictures! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nameless1 Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Happy dance for finishing shingling! Having done enough on my Arthur for two lifetimes, I'm about to become a major fan of Plastruct sheets of Spanish tile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatColorado Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 I look forward to your pictures. It is a relief to be done with the shingles and a nicely shingled roof can really transform a structure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPCullen Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Ugh! Shingling is the worst! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Nah. Shingling's OK, especially since that's hubby's job, LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fov Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Shutterbug, thanks for inspiring me. I just finished shingling my Arthur! :lol: EDIT: I added pictures of the shingles to the Arthur blog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniMadWoman Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Congratulations! I hope you're going to party . . . I agree with LPCullen . . . that's my hubby's job and he's doing a fantastic job on my Beacon Hill (even though I had to stain them).

wenlaine Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 You all are very lucky, I have to do it all. I love shingling though, what I absolutely do not like doing is sanding. Wendy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
