You're moving really quickly at this point.
I'd like to recommend 2 doors if you plan to ever have someone
else camp with you. I'm convinced it gets difficult to climb over
someone in the middle of the night. Thanks for the pictures.

I learned a lot from him and marveled at how a one handed man adapter and overcame every hurdle he encountered while working on a wood working or remodeling project. The loss of his dominate hand to just below the elbow in a farming accident never slowed him down either. My favorite story I love to tell..... I was about 13 and staying with grandma and grandpa for 2 weeks of the summer. Grandpa was in his element in his woodworking shop and I heard my Grandma holler out. "Cecil do you have on your good hand or your everyday hand?" He used his prosthetic hand to set the nails before he picked up the hammer to drive them. Unfortunately this occasionally broke a few of the finely wound wires that made up the hand. So he was in trouble if he didn't have his "everyday" hand on
8 months ago I shortened two fingers in a table saw accident and have been cursing and grumbling because they slow me down a bit.
I promise I will refrain from any further " feel sorry for myself" moments. You have set a sterling example as did grandpa. Take what's dealt to you ,
adapt and overcome. I stand in awe and salute you sir.

I can't add anything to this. My first thoughts this morning was that he accomplishes more in a short time than everyone. More than I finished this year and last!
As a youngster I was very active, as age sets in I slowed down. Now this! I have to up my game! Hats off!
If you ever need anything from Chicago let me know.
Wow!

I found the hard angles a real pain with lots of fiddly little angles to be mitered and funny (not!) filler and support blocks to be made. Curves for me next time! Plus straights and flats focus the eye onto any and all booboos while curves tend to be easier to blend.
