Build II

It turns out that Dr. Kelly our local naturapath and dancing friend has a table saw.  After descending into the circuitous caverns of Stephen & Kelly's basement I uncovered the perfect tool to trim up the beveled edges of the salvaged windows.

Presto!  Now figure out the cutting guide to keep the box to one sheet of plywood and a trip to the big orange box for supplies.  The cutting guide is a freebie online that helps maximize your use of the wood and does all the complicated math for ya.  Here's a link:  CutList 3.43

Rather than man-handle the 4 x 8 sheet of plywood across the table saw I had the Orange guys use their fancy panel saw to cut my pieces down.  Then back home and the basic box & door take shape.  The overhang on the roof isn't really sufficient for our winter rains, so I'll add another layer of plywood over this base to increase the front overlap to keep out the rain.  I can also add a decorative arch so the roof extends out a bit over the apex.

Looks like the weekend is sanding the window down, finding some hinges, paint a primer coat, hang the door and build some shelves.  Now who has some old door hinges sitting around?  Right now the whole project's cost has been time and ~$40.
