The Horizon of Finishdom within Sight

Attached are pictures of the two doors up and framed in.

Also, you see the east wall taking shape, including the only operational window in the place.

Doors come for free; one from Ralph (neighbor) and one from Tim's sister (Tim worked with me a couple of days last month.). They included the frames, so that made things so much easier.

The window was a find in an abandoned storage unit.  It's a double paned window with a screen.  30"x19", so not huge, but perfect for my widdle space.

The two sliding glass doors are from my cache of them gleaned at the apartment complex in Mississippi over two years ago.

A Craigslist sale of Shawn's old college bike a week ago netted $300 for The Cause as well. I used the 'free money' to buy my roofing material, a good 1"X6"X10' fascia board, and some other things.

I'm all goose pimply like a great pimply goose over the progress and the fact that it's all costing so little.

By the way, any ideas out there concerning color schemes?  I'm thinking khaki green exterior walls with white trim and white doors.

East Facing Side.  Note window on left (SE corner).

ETC (Estimated Time of Completion) now mid-October.
South Facing Side.  Window/Door/Window.

Wow! Charlie!!! You've made such terrific progress! Congrat's to you! I knew you could do it! I'm proud of you! These little projects take so much more work than anyone thinks. Be glad you are so close to complete with it. And right before winter sets in, too. Great planning! D.
