From shed to depot

A few weeks after we moved the shed and cemented the baggage cart permanently in place in front of it, I started on the detail work. The eves looked barren so I decided to box them in.

With some scrap 2x4s and some Kreg screws I made some kick-outs that the eve parts will mount to as I can't screw though the shingles to hold them on.

Adding the 1x6 boards. They are PVC white so they will never rot or need painted.

I also added a small window to let light in as well as dress it up to look like a ticket window.

Removing the corner trim I caulked any holes and painted in all the trim with a brush.I also painted behind the cart by hand as it can't be moved.

With the paint dry I check for any missed spots such as the window screws then put the corner trim back on.

The last touch is some train signage to give it that depot feel. This Fall I will make some additional trim details.
