tylikFree library update.
Between a friend who nabbed leftover shingles from a neighbor's roofing project and realizing that we had a bunch of leftover wood shingles for the siding, it occurred to me that I should really go through all the scrap we have around the place before I work out what I need to buy. So today I did a tour of the garage.
There's usable stuff in there, though not the 2x12" I was thinking of using for the body of the box. However, back behind some plywood I found two 2'x2.5' (very roughly) windows, of six panes each. So! that's actually pretty in line with the size I was thinking of, but now I have specific dimensions to work with, and a front door. A much spiffier front door than I was thinking of making. I am thrilled.
Then I talked to one of my Taiji students, who's a retired carpenter, to see if he had some scrap 2x12 board, and he does, so I gave him rough dimensions. I'm going to have to decide just how elaborate will be my framing for the door, but I might be able to start assembling it by next week.
