Shingles and Ridgecap complete.

Been a while since Ive worked on the pond, and thanks to daylight savings time Ive been able to work on it this week. Alot has been done and for the most part the roof is done just some minor cosmetic things are left to be done.
Also Iam sooo glad that me and my dad, well mostly my dad dont have to climb and teeter totter on the roof anymore. This thing has a pretty steep pitch, and our make shift scaffolding could only do so much, luckily we managed and prevailed. Next thing that was added and unfortunately I was only able to do the left side, was the outer truss wall's that will cosmetically cover the holes on the trusses.
Friday is a semi early work day for me so Iam hoping to finish plugging up the other side of the roof and then it will truly be complete. The next step will be to run some electricity to here so I can start erecting walls and make the deck around the pond, I cant wait! Till next post.

Bumper Finished....finally.

Well finally back from the con I went to, didnt really do to hot there as I only sold 1 piece of perler art but honestly not bad for being my first time lol. Between yesterday and today I was finally able to finish the bumper and I can definitely say that this was the hardest piece and most annoying piece to work on thus far.
Once again the limitations of Sketchup reared its ugly head again and I spent a good chunk of the evening yesterday trying to figure a way around it. Sketchup apparently has a limit on how small a radius it can handle, as in it just wont make one. So I just left where it makes the rounds in the corners essentially blank spaces.
After that nightmare was over it was just basic clean up of the model and then adding the holes at the bottom of the Bumper where it attaches to the main Pack body.
Honestly I dont know if Iam going to work on this much this work due too Iam pretty burned out and plain tired from coming home from work, and then working till the wee hours of the morning making the Perler art. for the con. So I believe a much needed R and R break is needed this week. Till next post!
