So here is the evidence that keeping after something day after day will provide results of some sort. This photo is what those pounding nails have in their minds when they start; some sort of tangible.

The roofing is layered in areas as the source of half price stuff only had so many pieces of the same color. Still works for keeping weather out.

The ridge pieces cost more than the actual roofing so I used cutoffs on one ridge and being layered it still works and saved thirty bucks which, when you have few of them, counts.

The rocks for the stairs came from friends who had had some wondrous landscaping stairs done and these were leftovers; will do a post on those next. The glass was an interesting form of double glaze I had never seen. It appeared that two sheets of glass were joined in some sort of glass welding with a small hole drilled in one corner. That hole had a sort of metal fitting in it giving the impression that after the two sheets were welded together leaving a quarter inch space between the space had been filled with gas or a vacuum formed finished with the fitting/screw.

This was given reinforcement by the one without the fitting that was fully foggy. I used that one in the last hole and the fogginess is clearing somewhat but it being in the center top of the north side, it still serves its function. Living in WVA I learned that using odds and ends is a fine idea. Before attending that school of live I had subscribed to the thing we are all taught in this land that everything has to be done by an expert who has been to the school specializing in this particular task. Thing is that some of these experts even are.
