Hello Blue.
Todd, the curtains will be shortened 5 inches. (My wife made them, she can shorten them). I keep them closed so I don't have sun fading everything. Had I been thinking in the beginning I would not have had windows. They are triple pane made from freezer doors I was given. They are heavy, and will open but it seldom gets that warm in the train building. I insulated it very heavy and caulked every seam that could leak air or allow bugs and mice.
Today I put the shelf on the north side and tied it in I am attaching pictures of the construction described above. I used lots of glue and screws to keep it together and that also adds some strength to the light weight construction. I am short about 12 feet of 1x2 for the front edge but I have 3 extra 1x4's so I will cut one to get those pieces. Early quit because I need to let the advil kick in. Maybe so more this evening.
