Thanks, the water tower is currently in the design phase.
In the meantime, roofing has started.
I started with installing the rafters on the main building. These all line up with the framing studs on the long wall. For a change, these were actually including in the kit.
I added stringers across the rafters for the corrugated roofing to lay across. These were not in the kit and the instructions tell you to lay the roofing directly on the rafters. I don't know if that's a proper building standard and this looks better to me.
I did cut the roofing into strips but I'm not sure about the size. The smaller size is about what the instructions call for, I cut others at twice the size for comparison. I'll think about it for a bit before comiting.
