body solder on the roof

Just finishing the roof.

I finally had to say Uncle to leading my roof. It was denting in from the heat too much so finished it off with a 1/16" of filler in spots. I do like lead a whole lot better.

Block sanding - If we were on a hike, this is where I'd sit down on a bench and say "You keep walking if you want, I'll wait here."
