This is one of the houses I worked on in St. Louis last winter for a friend. I’d never worked with fishscale shingles before. Thought it made for an interesting look. But they sure are a pain to work with when cutting the angles at the top of those gables

boss, what'd you do here?
sobriety is the root cause of dementia.
I guess the look wasn't that interesting.
How much time do think Rez spends digging through the archives for the obscure posts he finds?
homedesign is attempting to gather the photo documentary threads into one thread for ease and clarity.
He can use all the help he can get for his work seeing it's for the good of the community.

I don't think Rez sleeps.
Between patrolling BT, hunting down bargains at Lowe's and HD, and work, he can't have much time left.
He works?
he works--if you call spending 10 hours a day "bumping" extinct threads back to life.

The pictures I took of this thing are on my home computer. Which obviously is not a place I'm at a whole lot now. If you really wanna see 'em I'll try to dig them up next time I'm at the house. But that may be a while. All it really amounted to was a couple of pictures of some fish scale vinyl siding on the gable above the porch of an old house.

Well now that certainly perks an interest. If you ever get a chance, seeing those would be cool. Thanks.
