Bill

I'm assuming that the 4 that's planning on being there is edevans, starleen2 you and me. the 5th would be Mike's Escape Hatch He sold it but I don't know who too.

The one in Canada is John Sheppard's but he hasn't posted since 2007 Here is a link to his album though.

Hey all this talk about the WW. It almost makes me want to start over, not on your life. :lol:

One time around is enough for me. I'm still thinking of improvements that I can do. :lol:

Will it ever end? :cry:

Bill, I had planed at the first to build a WW. But after studying my needs for storage, I built what I have now.

Besides after watching your build, I wouldn't want to embarrass myself.

And one time around is enought for me. :lol:

I've gotten quite a bit done this week. Here are the pics...

I skinned both the upper and lower half of the door and installed the window.
Image

I skinned the upper half of the rear wall. It's just posing for the pic...
Image

I made a couple pieces of trim to hold down my weather stripping. Each one is about 36 inches long and has a counter sunk hole every inch. I'm pretty happy with how these turned out. Not too bad for just using a $99 drill press.

Image

It was kind of messy work...
Image

Here is the trim paritally installed. When the rear wall folds up, the edge of the wall presses against the rubber weather stipping to form a nice tight seal.
Image

I still need to install aluminum skin of the over the wood that is on the exterior (left) side of the trim. Anything to the left of the trim will be exposed to the elements.

Bill,

Looks great. I'm not sure I would have the patience to drill and countersink that many holes.

You must be working inside the garage because we're still digging out of the snow oveer here!

Wayne,

Bill's either busy removing fingerprints from the pretty aluminum, puttting together photos of their first outing, and/or holding out on us! :scratchthinking:
