Well my patience has paid off because the roof looks really good and I am happy that I exercised some patience and spend the time to do the job properly. I think I will be staining it either a dark walnut or go with the golden pecan, we'll see.
Wile I was waiting for the shingles to arrive I painted all the porch rails and other trim, another time consuming and delicate operation. Some of the parts are really tiny and fragile and sometimes they start to splinter if the brush is too big. I did however manage to complete the task without any major mishap, Next time though I think I will spray paint, that is much faster and much easier.
