Nachoman's summer 2010 enginehouse challenge.

As I mentioned in my last post on my build, I wasn't sure whether to go with a tar paper or corrugated metal for the roof. Your pictures just made up my mind...

Is the foil you used the commercially (grocery store) kind of foil..?? I've been scrounging through my son's "mess box" (he's a digitral controls engineer), but haven't found a suitable size of ribbon wire...I hope the die I purchased is home by the time I get back....

It is the heaviest duty foil I could find at the store. I went to a "warehouse" type grocery store thinking they may have a restaurant grade foil that is a little thicker, but what I bought may actually be a little thinner than the Reynolds "heavy duty" foil. My piece of ribbon wire came from something I took apart. It was only a piece about 6 inches long, and not wide enough. I cut it in half, and glued the halves next to each other on a block of wood in order to get the width I wanted. I tried to find a wider piece of wire at a thrift store, but didn't see any.
