{Attic Roombox} outside (almost) finished

I swear that something is conspiring against me ever getting any housework done.  I had a whole day free again yesterday, in which I planned to run a couple errands in the morning, then get the 2 folding tables that are in the living room right now (still up from Easter..... yep, you read that right) cleared off and out of here and maybe even get enough of our back room (which is meant to be an extra living room/family room/office/library/guest room room, but is currently a storage room) cleared out enough to get the bookcase I got the other day for it in there and get a bunch of stuff put away on it. (Said bookcase is also currently in the living room, or rather the door from the hallway to the living room..... It would really be nice to get my living room back to just a living room lol). But, my sinuses apparently didn't want to go for that plan because they were killing me yesterday (from allergies I'm sure) and making me feel all droopy and tired and even making my face kind of hurt, especailly if I moved around too much, so by the time I ran a couple errands (Hobby Lobby, And That!, and Wegmans) I was like, bleh, I don't feel like I can do anything else today. So of course there's still 2 tables and a bookcase in my living room that don't belong..... I did at least get some other stiff a little picked up, but really not enough to speak of.

But, since I didn't feel like doing anything but sit around yesterday afternoon, I decided to go ahead and finish the outside of the Attic roombox and that way it's just ready to put stuff in as I break stuff or come up with extra pieces lol.  Also one of the things I had gone to Hobby Lobby for that morning was gray cardstock to make the "slate" shingles for the roof from.  And again I forgot to take in progress pictures (I blame my allergies making me groggy lol), but it was pretty straight forward.... I had finished up the chimney the night before, so all I had to do was the roofing and dormers.  I cut the shingles from dark gray cardstock and glued them on, then trimmed the excess off at the corners and around the window openings.  Then I used a stencilling brush with a slightly lighter gray paint (I swirled the brush on a paper towel first until there was hardly any paint left on it) and swirled that randomly over the whole surface to give it some texture and depth of color.  The little dormers are cut from Balsa and glued on and painted white and the top (flat) part of the roof I painted with black paint and then painted over with the gray I used on the shingles.  I still have to do roofs and the actual windows for the dormers and maybe flashing on the corners of the roof and around the chimney, but right now I have a little test strip of some thin copper tape sitting with salt and vinegar on it to try verdigris-ing it to possibly use for all that stuff (well not the windows, but the dormer roofs and flashings)  If it works out well I'll do a little tutorial on it when I do the rest of it.  But without further adieu here's some pictures of it at this point......
