This
week we are going to add the roofing to the front porch. I am using
my favorite material for roofing, simple sand paper. This week I am
using 100 grit from the dollar store. It is really important that you
do spray paint/seal the sandpaper before you use it but that is
really all there is to do.
I
love how this looks like a modern day roof and is so easy and
economical to use. I usually paint mine black because I prefer how it
sets off the whatever color I have used on my siding but a quick
drive around the neighborhood would give you a lot of color ideas.
Here
is a picture of the markings I did on the back of the pages. I have
come up with the color system to make it easy for me to keep straight
what lines I cut and how far. You can use any 3 colors of marker to
do the same thing.
The
lines on the roof start 1” up from the bottom edge and then are ½”
apart all the way to the top.
After
the marking and cutting are done it is just a simple job to glue the
strips to the roof being sure to offset the shingles like on a real
roof.
