Where the windows went...

Here is a photo of the "mill" I have been working on. It utilizes the windows I showed off a couple of weeks ago.

The building is basically a barn, but with more windows of course. It is built from 1/2" plywood with cedar strip battents glued on. An "L" on the back side will be a loading dock next to the tracks.

The "boiler shed" is a seperate peice which can be installed in any of several locations. I sawed the smoke stack from a 30" peice of pressure treated 4x4 using my band saw. I just left the natural saw-texture to simulate brick work. the paint is a mix of rust-o-leum mixed with linseed oil.

I had a plan to make standing seam roofing from 14" aluminum flashing but the "press" I made is not quite up to the task. any roofing suggestions? I am not up to the task of 4000+ wood shingles. I want a long lasting waterproof roof so I can leave the building out...it is too big to move around.
