Sorry I haven't updated the build for a bit. Life got a bit hectic and I had to take a week off.
Anyway, I finished the side walls.
The Board and Batten sheeting comes in three parts per side.
I taped the three parts together and marked out the window and door openings.
The windows and doors are cast metal with a fair amount of flash. I quickly cleaned one of each up to use as a test piece as I cut the openings on the walls.
Even though I cut the openings exactly the size of the drawings they still needed to be opened a bit more but in the end they were all a fairly snug fit.
Then it was just a matter of glueing the siding to the framing. after setting the panels down on the frame a applied weights to the walls so they will dry flat.
The instructions say to stian/paint the wall now but I'll wait until I have all the walls built up before I do that.
Next, the end walls.
