Well the snow is gone and after 6 months of cruising the form I have decided I need to fix a few things that I rushed on and try to finish the rest of the tear . First the doors….. I didn’t really like the curved top, it does look good though, but for my needs a square door is better And I am going to put one on the other side ( So Jac dosent have to climb over me in the middle of the night :thumbs down: ) . The hatch!!! I built a 2/3 length hatch and have “spring back” like you would not believe so a full length hatch is going to happen, I think there will be less stress.
Picked up aluminum for the roof and diamond plate for the accents and FRP for the exterior walls .Since I have no garage and spring time here in Atlantic Canada means...Rain…rain…rain ….this should keep me busy for a few weekends … wish me luck and I’ll post photos as I progress ..

Are you cutting both doors square? You will definitely like 2 doors better.

Anthony , Well come on up to New Brunswick and I'll mix you one ...Keep in mind I pour "two finger" drinks ... :tipsy:

kennyrayandersen , LOL.... yea after too many rums, NO really I just felt the square door was more practical & I really do use it for winter storage so it will be easer to put stuff in ( Jac likes the doors square too )

hunter535, measure once .....Aint that the truth!!! also JUST SIP THE RUM :icedtea: .
