thresadep Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 San Fran 555..my tower roof looks good but I'm not happy with the top last rows. I was thinking,what if I add moss? Or not.. lol. Opinions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Not in those clumpy quantities! Less is more. Maybe just random scant drops or beads of glue just beneath the overlapping rows towards the bottom two courses of shingles, and after the glue dries pull off the excess moss. When we had to replace our cypress shake roof on our Havana house the moss was more of black & green discoloration; what you hve right now looks like the tower roof has been sitting at the bottom of a pond.

thresadep Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 Lmao bottom of a pond. Never done this before. I was thinking it's a bit clunky. Thanks! Not very happy in general with the moss. Think I'm going to put it aside for now. Not sure how to hide the ugly shingles at the top. Maybe a big bow tie? Lol. Feel like the has to be something....hmmmm.... thinking.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thresadep Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 Ohhh.. maybe a row of shingles just over the ugly ones then paint then pink. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Please do not paint them pink. Take a look at some real life shingling jobs and consider dry brushing diluted dark brown touches here & there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thresadep Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 Did a test with pink..not crazy about that. But...I did cut more shingles to go around over the small ones. Looks better. I'll get a pic later. Just paint the same roof color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thresadep Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 I am painting then separate the see how they look before gluing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thresadep Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 Here it is. Only one part where the short shingles peek out but this will do fine. I may add a shingle above. Or not..lol Too much fiddling. I need to get this thing done. Ugh! Lol Forgot to mention, this tower roof has been a pain. I get it all done. ( Minus this need add on) and notice, sprinkles of blue paint all over it. Should of move it when refresh paint outside house. Sooo... light sanding then repaint. Not a great shingles application but ..I'm over it. Lol then main house looks awesome. Going to post that now in my gallery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 See? The tower roof in place looks just fine. Is it my monitor, or is the main house roof not the same color as the tower and gable roofs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormwoodz Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 It looks lovelly! I was going to suggest exactly that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
