Roof shingling - main front

I finished the other side of the gable in the same manner as the first. I started with the main front piece, following the same pattern. I then finished the side front and middle front, leaving the outer edge of the middle front long. I will adjust that edge during the gluing process. I will also cut and apply the dormer shingles after the house shingles are glued in place.
The middle front is where things are off the most with the roof alignment, which also translates into poor alignment of the shingle rows when following the template. This is the main reason I chose to cut all pieces before gluing the shingle strips to the house instead of first gluing the shingles to the templates and then the templates to the house. I can now apply each row and make sure the rows line up as precisely as possible. Of course, a few sagging rows might be appropriate for the Haunted Heritage.
