One of 4 copper eave return caps installed.

Working on closing up the rear gable end. Installed the two lower windows today.

Why do my pics post sideways!

Antique top latches installed today.

Thank you! That’s a good question. I’m not sure yet, probably a simple rubber door sweep. Do you have any suggestions?

Bifold doors are done! Time to figure out the hardware!

Overhead doors installed!

I have only installed the two doors on the left as seen in the photos. I will then install the third door on the right. Once that’s installed, I will then measure the space left for the fourth door and make it based on that measurement and also taking into account any extra space needed for the...

Yes I kind of regret that!

Thank you!

The wooden overhead doors have finally arrived! I’ve started to paint them. Once I’m done, the door installers will return to put them up.

I finally managed to find a door manufacturer with reasonable prices for insulated wooden overhead doors! They will be arriving soon. In the meantime, I made and installed two of the four bifold door panels for the gable end opening. They are insulated with 3.5 inches of rigid foam! Hinges are 6...

And a bit more shingling.
