Continuing work on the roof finishing. With the roof shingles applied and painted, the only thing left was to finish the roof ridges. I thought about doing lapped shingles but didn’t like the way it looked on the dormer when I tried it. It doesn’t look terrible here in this photo, but there were a lot of gaps on the top and it just looked off.
I decided to go with 1/4″ corner trim from Manchester Woodworks, which is also an easier solution. I used my new scroll saw to make the cuts; it’s a wonderful machine!
I used old Dura-Craft strip wood to enclose the flat roof portion. I didn’t trim around the bottom edge, because I didn’t like the way it looked.
I painted the new pieces to match the roof.
It already looks more finished, but once the moss is on it will blend better.
Final roof touches here.
