What about putting a smudged layer of Art Mache or filler in your join and painting it to match your roof tiles? <br />As for wall colours, I know all about camera 'lies' with colours too, it can be so annoying!! <br /><br />I have sent you an invitation to join my private blog, hope you'll accept, it's only small and you'll find all my inspiration is flooding back :0)<br />Julia xxxxJulia and Hywelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16132024429486051350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450570313984527266.post-54773386036073858532011-02-23T13:19:49.119+00:002011-02-23T13:19:49.119+00:00Looks truly wonderful cant wait to see all the ins...Looks truly wonderful cant wait to see all the inside done too! Now if it was lazy me doing this id add something to hide the gap, mossy bits, vines etc, but that might not fit in, being in a shopping alley, not an outside house.....but like I say Im lazy so i come up with the easy answer not the best!!!!!xxxxxWhittaker's Miniatureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17548993983143295938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450570313984527266.post-26052364392972616022011-02-23T06:55:44.697+00:002011-02-23T06:55:44.697+00:00That´s so great project!

I am not sure what Michelle meant so will really love to see the pictures of what you will do. :)<br /><br />I love your walls both the exterior and the interior. I am sure that they can only look better after you have aged them.Sans!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07142349451568183257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450570313984527266.post-40978738782916912792011-02-22T22:55:26.582+00:002011-02-22T22:55:26.582+00:00Michelle you are a genius.....have sent an email!Michelle you are a genius.....have sent an email!onbeingaminimumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11176422732636109060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450570313984527266.post-7874755529015597312011-02-22T22:01:23.934+00:002011-02-22T22:01:23.934+00:00Me again!

Yes, lay your roof tiles flat...a pair, one each side to emulate a slight/gentled angled ridge tile, if you know what I mean! ;o))<br /><br />Michelle xxMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15844807744316681870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450570313984527266.post-74959077727606635542011-02-22T21:53:16.510+00:002011-02-22T21:53:16.510+00:00You will be onto your next shop in no time Janice…...You will be onto your next shop in no time Janice…Speedy Gonzales! I have to confess that this is my favourite side! :o) The paste is thicker as it should be and the bricks look great too, for it's the plaster and brick that falls in between the beams (the main supports of a building). Washing the plaster will add the age that you want. I love the loft joist, they are a fab addition. <br /><br />Oh I know how the camera always loves to lie about colours too, I'm used to it now! lol<br /><br />I didn't think the ridge tiles would work because of the angle ..but I didn’t like to say! You could use balsa wood ridge tiles (more of a gentle angle and available from Maple Street), or cut your own (you’d have to join them in situ of course, and I‘d opt for this solution myself). The lead flashing could and can be added, however where it’s being applied would have gone on before the roof tiles. Hmmm….methinks some artistic license is needed!<br /><br />You’ve made great headway (in so many areas) with this project and you should be proud. ;o)<br /><br />Michelle xxxMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15844807744316681870noreply@blogger.com
