120 Copper Court - Mansard Roof

I have just finished the mansard roof section of the entire roof assembly.  And I am loving it!  These asphalt-look shingles are perfect for this shape of roof and were so easy to put on.  I used construction adhesive and it made the entire job so much easier.  I still have the top of the main roof and the two small dormers to finish, but I just couldn't wait to see the mansard section completed.  I also used some crown moulding at the top to dress it up a bit.  I carried the look around to the rear of the house to give it a more uniform look.





I am sooo loving this house and the fact it's turning out exactly how I had envisioned it so far.  Now, onward to finish the clapboard!

Nicely done! You got me there. For one moment, I thought it was a real house. Hahaha! But you can’t blame me, the roof and the shingles look so realistic. But if this works well in this type, it will surely works in a real house as well. Thanks for sharing this, by the way; you gave me the idea on what to give to my niece on her birthday since she’s been begging me to make a doll house for her. Anyway, you’re very talented and I’m looking forward to see more of your projects soon. :-)
