- T&G Plywood cut, but it is low quality and has lots of little holes where knots have come out of it.
- Attic floor has now been painted with 3 coats of urethane paint.
- Main floor will be painted with urethane plus non-slip additive.
- Styrofoam insulation for underneath lower floor has been cut to size.
Walls and Windows
- Metal door has been bought and painted.
