Not a lot of hobby time last night but enough to work on the roof of my warehouse. Pretty straight forward except a couple of the long pieces had broken in transit.  I recall frustration with that and the fiddly windows was why I had stopped working on the kit in the first place.

 

Luckily, the way the kit assembles meant the broken ones had other pieces to offer strength and the damage barely shows.  Typical of 4Ground, a couple pieces were cut wrong so needed pegs trimmed or removed but it was a minor issue and, again, the design of layered and overlapping pieces meant no strength was lost.  All I have left to do tonight is to glue the corner spacers under the roof so it fits well to the floor beneath it.  I missed taking pictures as my fingers were covered in glue.

The thin brick layer glued to the edge was broken but attached perfectly.The thin brick layer glued to the edge was broken but attached perfectly.
Just glued down the final tiles.  One can see they need a little fine tuning before they dry.Just glued down the final tiles. One can see they need a little fine tuning before they dry.
I set these pieces and spacer aside for the end of the project.  When I was done they were no where to be found.  I cleaned the entire table and even looked in the offcuts and frames pile but couldn't find them.  This morning I put away the cutting mat, glues, and tools- BOOM- there they were, sitting on the table like they had been there all along.  Now, I don't know where they went last night but they weren't on the table.  Let's see if they are still around when I get home tonight.I set these pieces and spacer aside for the end of the project.
