He got the doorknob on and the lock, and now it's all enclosed. Put a radiator heater in there at 5pm and it's now tolerably warm in there already. Much better than the open doorway! LOL
The next step is to get wiring from the breaker to the wall for the minisplit. Electrician's coming tomorrow to work on that. Otherhalf has to then build out the wall space above the door for that thing to be installed, which means insulation and paneling on that wall there. The minisplit can be installed as soon as that is done. Then we can pivot to the exterior siding while it's still nice enough out to do that... It's not essential to do that now, but it'd be nice to have done. There is some more flashing to go on, and finish the soffit work after minisplit goes on. Finally, the interior finish stuff will be the "winter project." That is paneling the walls/ceiling, building out the light box for the LED strip on the brick wall on that old header, installing the fan lights, the wood storage box he wants to build, etc. I prob won't paint the exterior until spring, realistically, but that's OK. That is assuming we even get the exterior siding on. We do have it here tho. I will paint the door tho, asap... it needs to be done while it's new so the paint sticks. LOL
It's really come a long way in a pretty short time.
I am so stoked!!!
