bill_schubertWell, we brought the pieces to the back yard. Still a bunch of work to do but I didn't think it fair to keep it in my friend's garage when we could work on it here.
So, it is home now:
Obviously it needs paint. The door (no latch so the cooker is holding it closed) gives you an idea of the trim that will be on the whole thing. White trim and yellow paint. I will get some shingles or possibly metal for the roof. I had a metal roof on the last one and it worked fine. Google says the metal roof is cooler and it is easier to install and, I think, looks better.
Here is the look from the other side:
The two pieces will go together and I've got an automated door that will lead to a ramp into the screened-in run. You can't see it but up under the soffit there is a plug that will power everything.
It is now almost 90 degrees so I'm not doing anything with it. Now it is here, though, I can piddle a bit at a time.
