Yep Ed I've been working on this for a while now I started when She said I could move the computer into the bedroom ..... so that opened up space for my 8' Desk/Hotel TV stand ..... the price was right at $10 .... just haul it Home ..... one of the last things the 77 dodge van did .....

RR top right ... it needs to be continued across my desk ($10 one) below ..... Dang Orks have taken over my bench work .....

Damn and I thought my workbench needed some cleaning up

Thanks Dave .... Next step is to remove more of the chair rail under windows ..... & add more siding .... :train

 

[Swordsman]

Thanks Fellers ..... I did some more on this one .....

I had to measure 3/64's off of this window edge ....

Then I used my New Japanese Saw I found while cleaning the bunker .....
to remove the Bedrail from where the siding needs to go ....

I had done this on both sides this is the 1st side .... I didn't photograph that procedure ....

Close-up of said side .......

Both side are drying now ..... I will get back on it tonight .... :train
