Neat! Moose are cool to look at right up until you are looking at it impacting your grill.

Each window took 10 studs total and the door took 5. ETA. And because my roof is only 20’ long I used 12 roofing panels instead of 14. And because I went 6/12 instead of 12/12 I could have gotten away with 8’ panels instead of 10’. |

It’s been raining again. Annoying. Got 3/4 of the Tyvek up and doing windows today. Hoping to do the siding this weekend then I can focus on finishing the inside.

Is that the DXE utility box? I think mine is the same one.
On the inside, you have that right angle grey piece. I assume your coax is able to make such a sharp bend. Is there coax that can handle legal limit that is so flexible? |

It is the DXE enclosure, I have another one as well. According to the spec sheet, Times Microwave LMR 400 has a minimum bend radius of 1 inch. The 1.5" LB's on the inside allow for at least that.

I am using ABR 2213A and I don't think it would bend so sharply, but much to my surprise the data sheet on ABR's site doesn't list a radius spec. Mine just comes out of the wall and I allow it to have fairly gentle curves. |

With all that insulation the only heater needed will be inside
a 3-500Z or two.

Picked up a single sheet of 3/4” sanded Douglas Fir to see how it’d work for the walls. Good enough. Ordered 10 more sheets.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By aa777888-2: Why not more tongue and groove on the walls? I’ve actually decided to T&G the front wall with the door purely for looks and ease. Too much T&G is… too much. The rest of the walls are mostly going to have furniture, posters, monitors and radios, so I just need a solid mounting surface. |

Looks good! Personally, I'd paint the plywood a light color. Not necessarily
white, but tan or grey. The solid color will be less "busy" even though most will be covered with monitors, posters etc.. |
