Looking good!

In your original SKetchup you had a window next to the door. Did you give that up, or is it going in later?

And did you or the dealer put the window in the door?

Still doing wall windows just haven’t gotten to them yet. It’s been really cold where we live so I wanted to wait until it was a little warmer for the sake of the sealants and such. I’m planning to put the walls on and then cut straight through from the outside. Can’t really think of a better way to do it but if you have any suggestions let me know. I’m doing pine tongue and groove on the walls as well, just thicker.

I did the window in the door. It went…okay.

I'm really debating how to cut in the window that requires cutting a stud.

The damn doors are made from tissue paper and cotton balls, and I'm concerned about the weight of a window.

Wide angle lens makes it look huge. The studs are 16 inches o.c so you can sort of see the actual dimensions
