Building FSM Tribute Kit #1 by Bar Mills Pt.1

I am going through the backlog of the builds. I am trying clean the house so to speak before the end of the year. One is supposed to do that before Christmas, but I am late already. The best I can do is to clean it before the end of 2020.
Next up is Bar Mills FSM Tribute kit #1. I was asked to build T.J.Reiley's only, but since I didn't have it separately I built the one that came as part of the larger release consisting of three structures. In true Bar Mills fashion the kit contains minimal amount of the stripwood. Anything that can be laser cut is. That speeds up the build quite a bit. The only part that I built board by board was the water tank. The departure from earlier kits was the way the rafters are done. The kits from 5-10 years ago used to have them precut in a comb shape. Building T.J.Reiley's I had to cut the rafters by hand. The walls still had the slots cut in them so the length was not critical. The only requirement was not to make them too short. The slots also
helped keeping the rafters straight. Other than that, it was pretty much standard Bar Mills build. One building down, two more to go.
