All Connected

Instead of working on the rafters I decided to put everything together. I was going to make the front opening the size of the doors but then I wouldn't have a good square to make the main room on up to the top. Now I have to figure out what to do with the gap between the door and the walls but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. I am going to hinge the back so that I can reach in and arrange and rearrange the inside.
View from the back. I'll have plenty of room to get inside with this size of an opening.
The door comes in a frame and is currently just sitting there. As you can see I'll have to do a better job of centering as well as figure out some way of filling in the space between the posts and the doors.

View from the front with the beams for the rafters glued in place and drying. I want to give them a good chance to dry before I start messing with them to measure the rafters. Figured I'd update you all while it is drying...besides my AC is in where the puter is (it got warm today) and the game is over (Mariners beat the Red Sox 7 to 6 in 11 innings.) Have a Happy Fourth of July all. I'll be home trying to keep Nannuk off my head while the fireworks go off.
