gramma's garage roof slideshow This is the story of the old Bag's End and it's garage where hobbity lives. It all started when I needed to repair the hole raccoons chewed. I could fit through it! 2 ft by just over 1 ft. I found rotted wood, so I checked further along the whole length of the garage. Found the same damage on both sides of the garage. I really needed to replace all the old damaged shingles, but it's pretty expensive. So I scavenged 7 different colors and shapes of damaged bundles of shingles from stores. I was going to do a patchwork pattern over the whole roof. Then I thought about what else I could do with the colors, and made this sketch A job like this needs deluxe tools I started trying to layout the shingles to get an idea of what would happen, but decided to just started hammering I kept adding shingles brown shingles create a road that goes ever on across the roof. A shadow sometimes loomed over the Ol' Bag's End Soon leaves started falling I cut hinges out of some black shingles, and the window/door trim from brown. A post knob become door knob Here's the finished door Then shrubbery grew up one side and down the other We needed windows then started a topper that also has shrubbery Every hobbit hole needs a proper chimney and a Party Tree Silver water came from the grey rain-curtain that turned to silver glass Here it is! As far as it goes until Spring and warm weather for more tweeking A closer look. another angle and another looking towards the house A shot of all Here's a draft of the red dragon I'm making from shingles indoors during the Winter, and will add in the Spring Shingles are a serious emery board The roof goes along with my dragon bush (see first picture), Tolkien symbol on the house roof & flet Here's a closeup of the Tolkien symbol with my wristwatch next to it for scale. The symbol and dragon's back The flet when being built by my Brother. Thanks for looking! Sincerely, grammaboodawg
