God I love that shop!

No kidding!

That's what dreams are made of Wife could gladly tell me to get out of the kitchen with that in the back yard

[Strummer]

I'm going to try to get started on mine this weekend

Completed 8 bodies and cut rough openings for windows and doors. Installing wood frames for windows and laying out Masonite roof triangles to serve as base for fiberglass skin.

Are you fiberglassing the whole thing or just the roof? If not how well does that hardie hold up being buried?

never thought to use backer board.. a lot cheaper too

[coachwhip]

Backer board is great stuff, stuck a piece in water trough for about 10 months. Pulled it out and no damage whatsoever. Love the blinds and thread as we'll keep us posted!

[TxHunter06]

How thick is the backer board your using? 1/4" or 1/2"

x2.

Seems like anything built from backer would last much long; however, it would be much heavier I would assume.

[Strummer]

Could Ya show some more pics of the roof ? What angles and length did you go with ?

[KactusKiller]

Bidet not sure what you used to water proof before but sonneborn makes a product called HLM 5000 that is a below grade water proofer for below grade masonry such as concrete basements. It's a heavy black coating and would make them last forever below grade.
Check it out.

Looks good

In for the ride

Got sidetracked this weekend and didn't get any work done. Will get started on fiberglass roofs this week.
Jack, I didn't do any thing but paint the blinds, outside and in, with a good quality exterior paint. Black on inside and drab green outside. I don't know what is happening with paint below grade, but the hardie board should last for as long as I do. I do see a little mildew on inside, below grade, on blinds that are in lower poorly drained areas. It wipes off with a damp towel.

In your country you prob don't have to worry as much about moisture I guess

Gonna be a nice place to take some of those monster deer!

Finished fiberglass roofs on 2 blinds today. Miserable work in August. They are ready for paint. Ordered windows and doors from Deer-View. Made my own doors on last batch but trying theirs, this go around.

Got all fiberglass roofs done today. Thank God for a cool rainy day. You will have to stand on your head to get a good look. Waiting on some windows and doors. Time to crank up the airless paint sprayer.
