Skipping a fair number of repetitive details.... I finished installing the windows. I made the high square front window open outward using stereo cabinet glass door hinges and a pulley arrangement. Its not
Fine Homebuilding, but it works. I installed two small windows that open inward at the top of the back wall, using the same arrangement with a fixed bit of rope and catch magnets to hold them closed. Hubby hung a single-lite door for me (thank you, Dear). Priming, painting and weatherstripping happened mostly ahead of Winter rain, and it worked out pretty well. (Note: after getting the door up and painted, when I finally removed the protective plastic from the glass I found a big ol' sweaty handprint on the
inside of the sealed glass panes. Bummer.)
You can see the corrugated metal ceiling in these pics, too. I can't find the image I took of the "before" ceiling, but I did drill holes for airflow, and put a layer of silvered bubble wrap on top of the sheet metal, so there is an insulated air gap between the roof and the ceiling.
