Yes…it’s good to be back.
Bob…all, It’s all table saw work. The wood is poplar except for the molding which is pine. I bought 3/4" stock and some 1/2" stock. The big columns and top/bottom rails are 1" x 3/4" The centerpanels are all 11" long. The center panel is 2"x 1/2" stock with edges made from 1/2" x 3/4"stock. The wood between windows is 1/2" x 3/4" The windows are 4 x 8 grid sections 2 3/4" x 5 1/4" Doors are 5 1/4" sg. It goes together fast once all the parts are cut. everything is nailed with a gun and Titebond III. First thing is to nail/glue the top and bottom rails to the first column Second all the panels are assembled. Then the first panel is nailed into the corner the second to the middle edge and the third to the top corner. Then add the next column and repeat. Drop the windows into the opening next to locate the separator. Every wood to wood joint is glued and assembly is made easy by using a pin nailer to add 1/4" ply tabs to the parts as the are added to the wall…check the picture of the back to see that bit. I’ll add caulk to the seams that need it before painting. BACK

Worse is that we’ve had 48"s of snow and more is coming. Yes I know it’s colder in Minnesota and it’s nice in Arizona but neither have an Ocean and I wouldn’t want to be there for summer. I could do San Diego…or Hawaii or even South FLA…but here I be and SWMBO says here I’ll be for a long time
