Great job! :D

Two questions:

I didn't have time to go thru your blog at work, so can you say what you are using as the interior finish material for the ceiling?

Also, I have garage floor envy. Is your floor painted or did you use those plastic tiles? If tiles, can you say if they would support rolling tool mobile bases (for cabinet saw, bandsaw, etc.)?

The ceiling is 1x3's and 1x4's. The edges were milled on the router table.

Yes the floor is the vinyl peel and sticks from the big box. The hold up pretty well and make for easier clean up. They can get slick if you don't sweep once in a while.

You are correct, I have many many hours in that door. I debating if I want to make some for the galley. I do but I don't if you know what I mean.

More progress for your enjoyment

Cabin

I think I'm declaring the cabin done. I need a couple knobs and magnetic stops but that is a 5 minute deal. I just need to make a run to ACE.
