Almost got her done. A bit more trim and caulk, then paint the interior. There's a dent in one of the front gores. I don't know what happened. I'll fix that but I may have to back up behind it. Oh well, the next one will be better ! 8O

Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?

Excellent workmanship! What is the material you are using for the skin?

Finally had time to build a prehung door.
I still have to weather strip the outside but I'll do that after it's installed.
I did the frame with half laps. I used 2x4's and a 2x6 on the lock side because it's 2 3/8" to the center of the knob.
Glassboard on the front and back and a Styrofoam core.

Looks like my Observatory sign is off about three houses. So much for internet GPS.
