I finally had some time today to post this. It’s been done a couple of weeks now.
With the fresh snowfall, it’s a nice cool day to cuddle up to the computer.
I got the new roof section to blend in with the gazebo fairly well.
Some images:

I finished the facia with 1 X 4 Cedar Now it’ll have to age with the rest of the building.

Looks Great, Mr. C!! Glad Mrs. C likes the snow!! I can appreciate the beauty of it, but it means a lot of shoveling to me… :)

A little bit of time and weather will blend it just fine.
Nice work.

wouldn’t be great if something named carpenter ants built things instead of destroying things.

Don’t quote me on this but I think I remember hearing that vinegar will speed the aging process on cedar to help it blend faster… But I’ve never tried it. Anyone know anything about this?

Thanks to all of you.
I the wood like it is now, but aging gracefully like nature does it is fine with me.
I’ve got lotsa time to patiently wait.

Niice work Dick. Nature will take care of the finish in good time.
We got some freakish snow too, only it’s supposed to be spring here. Our budding fruit trees didn’t like it one bit.

Beautiful job Dick. Really like all the little things you did to dress it up. Made it look better, less plain. What did you do to get rid of the Ants? I’ve got em too, from having wood in the garage.

A really nice finsh to to the job, all you need now is your deck chair and a thermos or two of coffee to watch the slow and gradual change in the patina of that new wood.
We had our first snow last weekend, and more forecast for tomorrow night – this is a good month earlier than it should be – it cought a lot of people out – I have just finished putting the ice tyres on the cars today – better safe than sorry.
